Help on the way…

At Park Creek all trails have been rolled but are still rather soft. Ginzu grooming is scheduled to follow soon as our rookie groomer there learns the ropes from old grooming top dog Thaddeus.
At Alturas Lake we have contacted an legendary woodsman and local hero who very kinky responded immediately to our “Beck” and call, and is at this very moment on his way to retrieve our broken down. snowmobile and haul it to the shop. We hope to dig up an interim replacement machine Wednesday and get back to it. Davinius has been reminded that it is still very early in our season, that things usually work out fine and that he should not lose any more sleep worrying about it.

Holy smokes Batman, what do we do now?

Upon further investigation of our mysterious Kapow!!! snowmobile shut down, it does not appear to be a broken belt but something more serious that will necessitate moving the machine into a shop for service. We are working on getting a replacement groomer to Alturas but for the immediate future the trails are covered with 5 inches of new snow.

Breakdown…

On A. Dry cold Saturday at the Alturas Lake Ski area, the Trail to the Lake as far as the junction, Over the Hill and South Loop got one new pass with the ginzu groomer, knocking down blown drifts and adding classic tracks. At that point grooming came to an abrupt stop with a rather loud kapow!!! We will return on Sunday to try to figure it out. We are hoping it is just a damaged drive belt.

Progress on all fronts…

All trails at Alturas Lake and Park Creek have been compacted and rolled. Davinius hopes to ginzu in some classic tracks to the lake today, building on the great base Chadeus Maximus laid down yesterday.
