On Saturday, all trails at Alturas Lake were groomed to perfection. On Sunday, windblown snow is erasing those trails and returning the landscape to its natural state.

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.

Ski trails at both Park Creek and Alturas Lake were groomed on Saturday and Sunday and will be regroomed on Monday. The Sun is out. The temperature is frigid. Good times are yours for the taking. Don’t worry, be happy.

On the thirtieth, all trails at Park Creek were groomed for skate and classic, except for Larkspur, the least favored child of groomer Thaddeus Maximus. At Alturas Lake, all trails were rolled on Friday and are scheduled for a ginzu skate and classic drag on Saturday.
