Ski Trail Groomer Lost in Space! “Warning! Warning! Alien spacecraft approaching!”

On February 17th, after several unusually warm days, temperatures are beginning to fall to normal levels on the Sawtooth Ski Trails.  And WOW! Up to 14 inches of new snow is predicted to fall on the trails by Thursday afternoon. At Alturas Lake, initial attempts to resurrect the dead snowmobile groomer stuck on South Loop proved futile over the weekend. The plan for today is to drag it to the highway, winch it onto a trailer and move it to the shop for further diagnosis of the mysterious “46 error code” that flashed on its dashboard before giving up the ghost… ” Danger! Will Robinson! Danger!”

Happily, our back up snowmobile has been moved to Alturas, so grooming is once again underway. On Monday, all skate lanes except for North Cabin were refreshed.

And finally, on this, the anniversary of the repeal of prohibition in the United States, one final quote from Major West, Lost In Space… “OK, last one to kill a bad guy buys the beer.”
