COLD TRAILS GROOMED AT ALTURAS

On Friday morning, at the Alturas Lake ski area,  a frosty cold morning temperature of 2 degrees transmogrified the rising mist and coated the pine trees as well as the long white beard of Davinius with a heavy rime.  The ginzu groomers were rendered almost useless in the cold, their delicate mechanisms frozen solid. Timmy was able to nurse them Over the Hill, along the creek and up and down Wapiti before retreating to Stanley. Rather than further fighting the resolute cold, wily Davinius returned later that afternoon with the pretty girl from the village and together they groomed to the lake, smoothing out the kick scarred trail and laying down some respectable classic tracks. While North Cabin and Sheep Thrills looked a bit rough, skiing should be excellent on the other trails this Saturday.
