bearcreek and a mid day grooming

[Bobert540]

There is no rhyme or reason to do a mid day groom on BC's park. As stbqskibum stated, it will be a lot more work for the park crew after the groomer goes through the park. I don't think you realize the amount of time it takes to set up and maintain a park. The park crew does a great job.

that is true but i'm still all for a mid day grooming

What about mid-day grooming on the non-park runs?

Why? Its not like BC gets so beat up that its unridable or unsafe. Closing trails for grooming in the middle of the day makes no sense.

burton71 my guess is that you have an unlimited pass and u don't go to school so u can get up there early to ride the rails in good conditons

 

 

if u have riden the park on a weekend night you would probly agree with everyone on here about a mid day grooming

I work 8-10 hours a day and live 40 minutes away. I ride nights and weekends mostly, except for the occasional day off when I'll go up early. I usually ride 3-4 days a week if not more. I know exactly what the conditions at BC are like.

 

What you are missing is the amount of time and effort to re-groom a trail, especially mid day. Not to mention the potential of pissed off customers. Say you bought a 4 hour pass and the parks were either closed for grooming or packed with people because one or the other was closed. You wouldn't be to happy now would you? Or say you can only ride for 2 hours and you trek up to BC only to find the parks or trails you want to ride closed? That would suck don't you think.

 

The park crew did a great job last year and they are off to a really good start this year as well. A few ruts or icy landings are not worth the time, effort or money to break out the groomers.
