Alturas trails groomed
On Sunday, December 20th, Winter Solstice Eve, ski trails at Alturas Lake were rolled through a few inches of heavy wet snow.
SKI TRAILS GROOMED FOR SATURNALIA-MANIA!!!
On December 17th, trails at Park Creek and Alturas Lake were rolled in honor of this week’s Saturnalia-mania and the grand conjunction with Jupiter. Does it get any better than this for astrological revelers, planetary party goers and lords of misrule? Could this be the beginning of a Golden Age of plenty and peace? Ski the trails and find out for yourself. On Friday, December 18th, more grooming is scheduled for both ski areas to further compact the 4 to 6 inches of beautiful, luxurious new snow that we can only describe as out of this world!
You Otter see these trails…
On Monday the 14th of December, all trails at Alturas Lake were groomed for skate and classic to the east of the creek and for skate without classic tracks to the west. Skiers and other slip and slide creatures have described the trails as most excellent.
The Lakes are singing…
On December 8th, the birthday of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, all trails at Alturas Lake were refreshed with a pass of the ginzu.
St. Nicholas passes, ski trails good…
On December 6th, the 1,677th anniversary of the death of St. Nicholas, ski trails at Alturas Lake were looking good. Over the Hill and the Trail to the Lake were ginzu groomed and picnic tables were added to the sunny hilltop festival site. At Park Creek, Adam, the first man of grooming, was able to get all the trails rolled out. He groomed Lupine, Shooting Star, and Camas with classic tracks. Unfortunately, someone drove down Dry Creek Road sometime before it was closed for the season, so there are deep ruts on portions of Skyrocket, Sego, and Larkspur. It may take more snow to get it leveled back out because it’s a mess at the moment. Sadly, St. Nicholas, the patron saint of of sailors, archers, merchants, repentant thieves, prostitutes, pawnbrokers, children, brewers, unmarried people, and students is now long dead, but his spirit skis on.
