On Monday, the 16th of January, the birthday of Don Bogle, guitarist and founding member of Tacoma, Washington’s historic surf rock heros, The Ventures, Walk Don’t Run to the Alturas Lake ski area where the skiing should be pretty good. The same goes for Park Creek where conditions should be perfect to Ram-Bunk-Shush. 

Good trails, warm temps…

On Friday the 13th, Alturas and Park Creek trails should provide adequate skiing opportunities. At Park Creek, trails were graded on Thursday to remove concave irritation. At Alturas, all trails to the east of the creek were groomed with classic tracks and skate lanes and the remaining trail from the bridge to lake was rolled.

On Tuesday, the 10th of January, let’s celebrate the birthday of Donald Fagen.
“Snowbound
Let’s sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play”
At Alturas Lake all trails were rolled through 6 to 8 inches of new snow and some classic tracks were added with the ginzu groomer on the east side of the creek. At Park Creek, rolling was scheduled as well and we assume that the results were positive.

On January 7th, ski trails at Alturas Lake and Park Creek have been groomed and should provide very good skiing opportunities. However, classic tracks may be missing from some trails due to multiple mechanical breakdowns. We reckon that our string of breakdowns is due to the overwhelming effect of retrograde motion by Mercury and Mars. Work on snowmobiles at both areas is scheduled for Saturday and our valiant Groomers have been provided with spray bottles of Mercury retrograde balancer.
