On Monday, 10 to 12 inches of new and drifted snow covered ski trails at Alturas Lake. All trails except for North Cabin were compacted with two passes of the roller. After getting stuck several times where the trails seemed to disappear in deep drifts, that old grooming desperado, Davinius, decided to go home, warm his toes and maybe sip on a Tequila Sunrise in front of the fire. North Cabin, with its twisting curves and hilly terrain was postponed for grooming until Tuesday in hopes that the snow there would settle out a bit. As he covered the snowmobile and walked to his car, Davinius hummed a little tune…

Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
