After 5 to 6 inches of snow fell at Park Creek on Wednesday, Adam, still the first man of grooming, rolled everything out that afternoon, returning on Thursday to set classic tracks and groom everything but larkspur. He plans to finish things up Friday and put out trail markers.
8 to 10 inches of new snow fell at Alturas lake and on Thursday, the second of January, all cross country ski trails were double rolled and looking great. However, things there turned ugly when a angry mob of snowmen, protesting the day’s massive compaction of snow, gathered outside the home of old groomer Davinius. He was forced to arm himself with two hand held hair driers for his own protection and vowed that grooming would continue on Friday, even as a volley of snowballs was hurled in his direction. When will this madness end?
