On Tuesday, the ski trails to the east of Alturas Lake Creek were rolled. More grooming there on Wednesday.

With new snow, storm warnings and temperatures above freezing, skiing is not recommended at the Alturas Lake Ski Area today. Most trails were compacted at Park Creek on Monday so some less than perfect skiing may be possible there if you arrive before the next storm. No promises.

After two days of grooming deep snow drifts, ski trails to the East of Alturas Lake Creek were transformed from a powdery snowy wasteland into quite serviceable trails groomed for skate and classic. Trails to the west of the creek were still buried. Snowfall continues…
