Grey skies & falling snow, where did all the ermine go?

On Thursday, March 8th, International Women’s Day, a light snow was falling on the Sawtooth Valley. By noon an inch of new snow had accumulated. On Wednesday, skate lanes on Over the Hill, the Trail to the Lake and South Loop were touched up and Wapiti and Sheep Thrills Trails were compacted with the snowmobile and then double rolled. That left only North Cabin ungroomed.

Alturas Lake Trails Glorious in Sunshine

On Tuesday, the 6th of March, the snow was brilliant, the sun was glorious. Over the Hill, South Loop and the Trail to the Lake were groomed for skate and classic. The trail from the bridge to the lake is a little narrow but otherwise good. The two feet of snow that fell last week still stands tall and defiant to the sides of the groomed trail and resists taming.
