- The ski trails are being groomed as conditions warrant. We are getting positive feedback so unless we hear otherwise the trail will remain as set. I think we're learning. I'm going to hit the track myself to see if I can get around without collapsing.
- ArborCare Tree Service will be pruning select elm and poplar trees over the next week. Unfortunately the lift truck will interfere with some small sections of the ski trail. We will reset the track after they have completed their work. In the meantime please avoid the truck and the workers by skiing around the site if necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience but winter is the only time we can deal with the elm trees as per City bylaws.
- The Tee House construction is well under way now that the concrete floor has been laid down. I will post progress pictures beginning today.
- The greens were cleared of the initial snowfall as previously mentioned and as of now they are covered with approximately 16 inches of good snow cover. Keep snowing and stay cool is the hope for the next few months. The 6th green (covered with bubble wrap and an ice shield) is being monitored for CO levels and temperature. Our twice weekly checks show the temperature staying at -1.4 C. Good for now.
- A few members have inquired about skating on the pond at #10. We plan on trying to clear and then flood a section in January. The ice should be thick enough by then. I will follow the City Of Edmonton's lead on this one. I'm on ice a lot but inside where its fairly predictable. Its been awhile since any of us have prepared outdoor ice so it will be a work in progress. Learning for next winter we hope.
