There is a lore story that a top Russian nordic skier groomed his own
skating trails by dragging a truck tire behind him. In my garrison
town they used to send in a platoon skiing three abreast to groom -
the result was skate-able to an extent (this is where kids in my town
learned skating in the mid 80s).
