Trails look very good…

On the third day of the second month of the two thousand and twenty second year of our lord, the Sawtooth ski trails were reported to look quite nice Indeed. At Park Creek, groomer Aaron had just finished smoothing out the wide firm trails with our heavy and unyielding compaction drag, when he suddenly fell ill and had to return home to rest and recuperate. Heroically and with stoic confidence, Thaddeus Maximus took the field on Friday to add some perfectly parallel grooves that should please the classic skiing public. At Alturas Lake, Davinius touched up skate lanes to the east of the creek on Thursday where classic track still looked good. Ever valiant Chadeus the Great ventured forth on Friday to complete grooming from the creek to the lake and over North Cabin. Heading into the weekend, your Sawtooth ski club grooming crew wishes you all good tidings, good health, sunshine and good glide.
