Day of the Sámi People

On February 6th, the Sawtooth Ski Club is pleased to celebrate the National Day of the Sámi People,  the indigenous Finno-Ugrics  of the far north, reputed to be the inventors of skiing and our favorite folk fashion dandies. At Alturas Lake, Sheep Thrills trail was widened, flattened, compacted and groomed for skate and classic on Friday and looked super good. All other trails to the east of the Creek were groomed except for Wapiti, scheduled for Saturday grooming along with the trail from the bridge to the lake and North Cabin. At Park Creek on Friday, everything was groomed for skating and classic tracks were added to Lupine, Shooting Star and Camas Loop. Randy, the grooming Yankeeforker, had to abandon his equipment to an all enveloping snow drift at the end of the day and walk out to his car, but he swore he’d be back on Saturday to dig it out and start all over again. That’s the kind of dedication ya’ just gotta’ dig and then dig it some more. Dig it?
