Trail grooming gnomes guard the earth’s treasures…

On Sunday night, with less than 2 weeks to go before the big Sawtooth Ski Festival weekend, trail groomers met around an open fire under the waxing snow moon and tasted the soup kitchen concoctions of Kitty Boy and the pretty girl from the village. All agreed that while the soup was absolutely scrumptious, a bit more curry couldn’t hurt the pot and much merry making and toasting ensued. “Here’s to the pretty girl from the village!” they cried as they guzzled glugg and giggled. Trails at both ski areas had been groomed through the deepest snow drifts and even the trail to Alturas Lake and the terrible hills of North Cabin were once again negotiable, if not yet perfect.
