Grooming the Timm's Hill Trail for cross-country skiing has evolved over the years.  I started with an ATV and a homemade wooden drag, and then a 1969 Alpine, 1986 Alpine, and finally a 2005 Skandic. 

My drags have evolved too, from the first wooden drag to a homemade version of the Tidd Tech Trail Tenderizer, a leveling drag, a ladder drag, and a "wing" that attaches to the rack on the Skandic.  All the drags are homemade, and they've evolved to the point where they're very effective at handling all types of trail conditions, from deep powder to hard ice.

The following is what I've learned during 12 years of grooming - thru trail & error and by talking to others who also groom trails.  I welcome your comments, suggestions, and tips - I'm always looking for ways to improve!
