On December 16th, the Alturas Ski Trails are all compacted and rolled. Signs are not out yet but the bulletin board has arrived with maps and the ever popular blue room is ordered and on the way. Ginzu grooming may begin today if everything goes well.
WAITING FOR THE SNOW
We have received word that upwards of 40 trees fell on Park Creek ski trails in the big wind that recently swept through the Sawtooths. That means an end of grooming trails at Park Creek for this season. (This is not an April fool’s joke.) Alturas trails remained unscathed except for a few branches and a layer of desert sand littering the snow. Chadeus Maximus is out grooming today, April 1st, and we plan to continue grooming Alturas trails at least through the coming weekend.
On Tuesday, the 30th of March, the Trail to the Lake, Over the Hill and South Loop were groomed for Skate and Classic. North Cabin was also groomed for skate and touring but no classic there. As snow melts, tree wells advance, and passage over the bridge narrows, the grooming season is coming to an end. As we enter into April, this will likely be our last weekend of grooming. Don’t miss out on your last chance to ski the grooves and have a barrel of fun.
On Monday, Over the Hill, South Loop and the Trail to the Lake as far as the bridge junction were graded and then ginzu groomed for skate and classic.
On Sunday, the 28th of March, all skate lanes at Alturas lake were refreshed with a Ginzu grooming. Classic tracks remain limited to the Trail to the Lake and are sketchy in some areas.
