The city added a new amenity this winter at Braar Golf Course. Crosscountry skiing trails. For the first time, those with classic and skate skis were able to glide around familiar greens following the purchase of professional trail grooming equipment. Edina TV shows us how the trails were made. to embrace winter. It helps if you can navigate snow coververed terrain while having fun. >> My husband and I are retired and our friend just retired and she said, "Hey, I want to learn how to cross country ski." And we're like, "Well, we coach little kids. Maybe we can coach you." >> Maybe was good enough for this friend. >> There you go. already. >> Oh no. >> Not far away, one student's new best friend is on the move. >> So, we have our K Cabota RTV, which we have tracks on for the winter time. Then we have a 72 in Snowmaster trail groomer. This tool packs the snow, carves grooves for skate skiers, and tracks for those classic style skiers. Voters approved the halfsent sales and use tax that funded this new amenity back in 2022. But up until this winter, there just wasn't enough snow. >> That's a a good investment from the city to have any resident, even though if you're a non-golfer, to come out on the golf course and enjoy it. >> And many are >> Oh my gosh. Long time needed. >> The path of this two-mile loop of trails may change in the future based on resident feedback. Well, we we'll try to keep it the easiest for us to groom and for the residents for walking or skiing. >> So, it's perfect to have an option here at home, especially when it's just like, let's just get out for 45 minutes. >> When enough snow falls around 6 in or so, the trails will be groomed when staff is available. >> Trails might not get groomed on the weekends, but definitely during the week, we'll try to do that daily. While there are no fees to use these groomed trails, gravity always takes its toll. I'm Dan Carpenter TV. The utility vehicle being used to groom the trails has also been used for golf course maintenance for the past few summers.
