Preparation for the coming season

 It's September 8, and the temperature outside this morning is +5. That's cool! Time to start thinking about the coming ski season.

Over the past couple of months, I've been doing the usual summer maintenance on the trails, which mostly consists of cutting the grass. But I've also added a new trail to our network. It's in the relatively flat area in the central part of our trail system, and it runs from west to east, intersecting 7 other trails along the way. The most easterly part of it, where it intersects the Mainline trail, has a very nice, gentle to moderate downhill on it, which I think is going to be fun to ski. Time will tell; we need some snow first, so that we can give it a try.
