On Friday, March 13th, at Alturas Lake, Over the Hill, South Loop and the Lake trail as far as the creek turnaround were graded and ginzu groomed to improve the skating lanes. Otherwise the trails are wide, flat and firm with classic tracks melted out and degraded in spots. On Saturday, snow is falling intermittently and should improve trail conditions once we groom again.
The Sawtooth Ski Festival was a great success last weekend and the organizers and the many volunteers are still recuperating and practicing social distancing while quarantined at home. Please remember, no hand shakes, hugs or kisses on the ski trail system are allowed through the end of the season.

On Wednesday, the 4th of March, all trails to the east of Alturas Lake Creek were groomed. Skate lanes looked fabulous, reset classic tracks were less fab but the best the hard snowpack allowed… sunshine rated excellent, views unrivaled… skiing highly recommended.

The ski trails at Alturas Lake were all groomed on Friday afternoon and looked great. A light snow shower commenced at 9:50 Saturday morning but little or no snow accumulation was expected. Park Creek trail grooming will commence around 11 a.m. Saturday.

Trails at Park Creek were groomed on Sunday and Tuesday. At Alturas, a Monday grooming will be followed up with a touch up on Wednesday. Nice trails all around.

On Monday the 24th of February, birthday of Winslow Homer, Chadeus Maximus was heading out to groom trails at Alturas Lake once again. He had groomed there the day before and the day before that Davinius had also taken the groomer out. Needless the say, the resulting trails should satisfy the skiing public.
