A RIBBON AT A TIME

In the words of Emily Dickinson, “I’ll tell you how the sun rose, a ribbon at a time.” This morning a brilliant lavender, yellow and burnt orange sunrise over Galena Pass cut through the cold morning sky, warming ski trails at Alturas Lake. At 8 a.m., the temperature there was approximately 5 degrees. On a wet sleety Sunday at the ski area, all trails except for North Cabin were rolled for skating. With colder temperatures on Monday, an attempt will be made to add classic tracks.
