Trails should be groomed for games

I have been reading lately about the controversy over the machine-groomed trails on River Lot 56. I have used these trails many times over the years and would like to add my comments.

I have no arguments with STANSKI or the stewardship society and like to use the machine-groomed trails on the river and in the park. However when I go into River Lot 56, which is mostly through trees, I have to admit that I prefer the non-machine-groomed trails. Cross-country skiing as it’s meant to be. I would imagine that many of the skiers out there would have the same preference.

However in saying this, I would also hope that the stewardship society would allow those trails to be machine groomed next year for the winter games, if they are requested to do so.
