On another thread poor trails were brought up and I think most understand that at this time of year when the traffic volume is high the trail will get rough. The issue I would like to bring up is the fact that the groomer on Frisbie is not doing a good enough job of smoothing out the bumps even when all the condition to make a good trail are present. I know this because our group came down Friday night after midnight and the trail had been groomed 4 hours earlier but was still full of bumps that the groomer only took the tops off. No sledding had come down since it was groomed. The trail was frozen and rock hard but still very bumpy. My understanding is that this situation is caused because the trail on Frisbie is being groomed with only the groomer and no drag. The groomer and operator are doing the best they can but without a drag behind I'm not sure it is possible to smooth out all the bumps. I have been up Boulder first thing in the morning on a smooth trail even after coming down the night before on a very bumpy trail. The difference is the drag that they use. Just my two cents but if your paying for a trail pass and your the first sleds up the trail shouldn't the trail be smooth.
