On Tuesday, November 29th, all trails between the highway and Alturas Lake were groomed with corduroy suitable for skating or touring. The Trail to the Lake as far as the bridge, South Loop, and Sheep Thrills also had geometrically pleasing classic tracks. Directional Map Signs can be found at most intersections if the wind don’t blow, the creek don’t rise and it don’t snow too hard to see.

Trails at Alturas Lake were groomed on Wednesday and Thursday and looked good. Crust cruising, while not perfect was sublime and supportive until around 1 o’clock.

Trails at Alturas were groomed on Friday, rolled on Sunday and will be groomed again on Monday.

After a successful soup kitchen Sunday, all Alturas lake ski trails were groomed on Tuesday. With 3-4” of new snow falling over Tuesday night, all trails were groomed again on Wednesday resulting in beautiful corduroy, sharp classic tracks, blue skies and don’t forget the babbling creek… hard to top that on combination for a Thursday ski adventure.

 With temperatures soaring earlier this week, grooming was suspended at the Sawtooth ski areas as the snow got too mushy to groom. On Friday grooming is scheduled to resume. In another weather related misfortune, the much beloved Pesky Grape Seeds, the  musical guests scheduled for this Sunday’s soup kitchen had to cancel their appearance. In any case, the rest of the show will go on and along with soup, cookies and bread, we are hoping for appearances from the fleet foxes, the black crows and perhaps a howlin’  wolf. Join the fun from11-3. At Park Creek, a Poker Run with fabulous prizes, delicious chili and scrumptious cookies is scheduled from 11-1 on Saturday. Be there or be square!

On the third day of the second month of the two thousand and twenty second year of our lord, the Sawtooth ski trails were reported to look quite nice Indeed. At Park Creek, groomer Aaron had just finished smoothing out the wide firm trails with our heavy and unyielding compaction drag, when he suddenly fell ill and had to return home to rest and recuperate. Heroically and with stoic confidence, Thaddeus Maximus took the field on Friday to add some perfectly parallel grooves that should please the classic skiing public. At Alturas Lake, Davinius touched up skate lanes to the east of the creek on Thursday where classic track still looked good. Ever valiant Chadeus the Great ventured forth on Friday to complete grooming from the creek to the lake and over North Cabin. Heading into the weekend, your Sawtooth ski club grooming crew wishes you all good tidings, good health, sunshine and good glide.

Over the last few days trails have been looking good. At Park Creek, Shooting Star, Camas and Lupine were rolled and reportedly fun to ski. The other trails were snowmobile packed with more intense packing scheduled for Wednesday afternoon with some help from the forest service. At Alturas all trails have been groomed and the trail from the bridge to the lake, while still a bit choppy is beginning to look pretty good. A ginzu grooming there on Wednesday should push it from the really good range to the super good. The much beloved picnic tables have returned to the top of over the hill. Picnickers can once again sit down and enjoy the views.

On January 9th, the feast of St. Stephen, as Davinius groomed at Alturas Lake, he was reminded of these lines from Robert Hunter, the great Dead lyricist…
