Nice day for a ski…

December 5th, 2020 is the 2081st anniversary of Cicero’s fourth Catiline oration, well as the 87th anniversary of the ratification of the 21st amendment abolishing prohibition. Freedom lovers will certainly enjoy celebrating this great day with a ski at the Alturas Lake Ski Area. Wapiti trail does have some aspen twigs poking though the snow and North Cabin trail is rather rough with some dangerous stumps to avoid. Otherwise, the trails are in really good condition for skate and classic. In addition, our most excellent groomer, Chadeus Maximus, will be there, grooming out any slight flaws that could annoy you on this otherwise perfect day. Feel the freedom! Enjoy the sunshine! Kick and glide!

TRAILS LOOK VERY GOOD AT ALTURAS

On December 2nd, the 129th birthday of German expressionist artist Otto Dix, all trails at Alturas Lake except for Sheep Thrills were groomed. In addition to smooth skate lanes, classic tracks were added to South Loop, Over the Hill, and most of the Trail to the Lake. For the low amount of snow available to push about, trails looked remarkably good but trail edges are soft. At Park Creek some initial rough roll out of trails has begun.
