It's been an entire month since the blog has been updated. February was extremely busy for us as the roller coaster of temperatures and lack of moisture caused us to start blowing greens and preparing for, perhaps, an earlier than normal season.
Typically we would begin blowing off greens right around March 1st, this year we started on February 10th. There were some ice concerns under the snow, and the warm temperatures we had early in February helped make the decision for us with respect to blowing them off early. Turns out the ice was not as wide spread as originally anticipated and blowing them off certainly helped with any areas that were of concern. As of yesterday we had an average snow depth of about 8-10" on the course, a foot or so short of what we typically expect this time of year. We did receive 2-3" last night. That will help with cross country track, which has been in less than desirable shape with the lack of fresh snow. Based on the depths of snow and the coming forecast we anticipate closing the track by the 20th or so of March, unless of course winter decides to make a ferocious comeback. Get out and enjoy now as the course will be off limits once the track is closed. Have a great week.
