More and more and more snow….

by | Jan 7, 2022 | .

On Thursday, the 6th of January, Chadius Maximus and Davinius tag team groomed through a blizzard and deep snow, packing and rolling to the east of Alturas Lake Creek, crunching the drifts into rough shapes somewhat resembling ski trails. More snow fell over the night and on Friday so skiing there should only be recommended to overly ambitious athletes, big foot or the certifiably insane.

Yet more snow…

On Wednesday, the 29th, all trails at Alturas lake were groomed. The trail from the bridge to the lake and North Cabin were double rolled. At the frozen lake a blue heron and a bald eagle were spotted. No lake songs were heard. All trails to the west of the creek were ginzu groomed. Snow conditions are still a bit to soft for good skating. At Park Creek one our grooming snowmobiles is stuck in deep snow against some downed logs… working on that.

Snowed in…..

Trails at Park Creek and Alturas Lake were rolled over the weekend but were rapidly blowing back in. Some grooming may resume on Monday at Alturas. with a break in the weather and if road out to old Groomer Davinius gets plowed. At Park Creek, Thaddeus Maximus was going to rock and roll one more time before handing duties back to star groomer Aaron who has happily recovered from his holiday illness. We recommend patience to eager skiers who have been thwarted be the stormy weather.
