Cleaned up skate lane. Classic is in good condition. Both to the first switchback.
We had hoped to finish track setting to Big Mountain. We had 3 moose encounters during that effort. Snow is deep and we did not want to stress the animals.

Congratulations to Doug and Jeff Beck (father and son). They completed a ski marathon (classic style) on SR65 today. The marathon was in memory of the Becks Wife and Mother.
They had pledges for their effort and all proceeds go to Sarcoma cancer research. Great job!

Good Morning,

Both tracks have been groomed for classic and skate. We had some wind blown areas on both tracks overnight and this morning. The upper track is spotty in places because of the new snow and strong winds. The snow conditions are very soft on both tracks. The lower track groomed up really nicely for classic and skate.

Have a great day,

Like they say, March is in like a lion! 3″ since yesterday, forecast calls for 7″ more throughout today. 15° at 8am, high of 24°. All trails groomed for skate and classic this morning.

Spruces

More and more snow at Spruces. We sledpacked and rolled Spruces and Jordan Pines today. Just used the roller so it may have some bumps. Too soft and deep to use the ginzu groomer today. The snow is so deep now that many branches are in the skiers path – I have been trimming branches this winter but have not got to this latest round. I will try to later this week. A Fir came down and is hung up at the start of Count Max’s loop, pushing some aspens down into the path as well. This will be a chainsaw job, its on my list to do. There are resident moose on the lower Spruces loop, please give them space and leave them alone. More snow coming this week. Come up and enjoy.
