More snowfall buries ski trails

With consecutive snowfalls of 8, 12 and 4 inches since Sunday, our powder monkey groomers have been rolling and tumbling through the drifting snowfields at Park Creek and Alturas lake compacting the pow pow. At Park Creek, the Yankeeforker rolled Lupine, Shooting Star and Camas trails on Sunday and Monday. Luckily a falling tree, a potential widow maker narrowly missed the Park Creek grooming equipment where it was parked for the night. Our ever-ready woodsman, the heroic Robertus was heading to the scene on Tuesday morning to remove the offending lodgepole. At Alturas Lake, Davinius rolled everything except for North Cabin on Sunday. All trails are snowbound once again and a bit more rolling is planned for Tuesday. As snow continues to fall, in the short term, expect poor visibility and limited, soft trails. But we are anticipating that by the weekend, blue skies, sunshine and happy times will be our skiing companions once again.
