Although temperatures in the Sawtooth Valley have been almost as cold as on the dark side of the moon, grooming has continued at the Park Creek and Alturas Lake Ski areas. Alturas trails are still soft but getting better with new ginzu and classic tracks on trails to the east of the creek and progress on the western side anticipated to push corduroy and classic through to the lake on Saturday. As of Friday, that section of trail was just soft corduroy sans classic. At Park Creek, new groomer, Jaydius the younger, was showing the right stuff this last week, rolling, grading and ginzuing trails to their best condition all season.
