Adam, the first man of Park Creek grooming, was out on the trails this weekend. He was able to get everything groomed except larkspur, with classic tracks on skyrocket, lupin, and shooting star. He’s been trying to get the trails leveled back out after all the drifting last week and will be going out for a couple hours Monday afternoon to work on larkspur. On Sunday at Alturas lake, Davinius graded and ginzu groomed the Trail to the Lake, Over the Hill and South loop with skate and classic lanes. Chadeus Maximus will take over on Monday with further grading and grooming planned.
All trails at Alturas Lake were groomed on Saturday the 20th and even though the wind continues to pile up insanely large drifts in open meadows, the skiing is still crazy good. More grooming scheduled for Sunday.
On February 17th, trails at Alturas Lake were ginzu groomed for skate and classic after being rolled on the 16th. The result was soft… shimmering… magical.
On February 16th, after two days of considerable snowfall, yet more snow is reportedly on the way. Sawtooth ski trails are being groomed and reclaimed from the blanketing drifts, but skiers should expect somewhat soft and primitive trails rather than hard fast skate lanes and classic tracks. At Park Creek, Adam was grooming through heavy falling snow on Monday afternoon and Chadeus Maximus headed out on Tuesday morning to work on the Alturas Trails. New weatherproof boxes have been installed at both sites for maps and doggie bags. Our new dog poop patrolman, Toby Toller, hopes you enjoy our dog friendly trails, but asks that when your doggie gotta go “Please snag it and bag it!”
On February 13th, birthday of Italian rococo painter Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, skiing in the Sawtooth Valley should be heavenly. Trails at Alturas Lake have been groomed over the last 4 days to keep up with daily snowfall and will be groomed again today. Skate lanes look good but classic tracks are not the best due to hard snowpack conditions. NEWS UPDATE: After grooming on Saturday skate and classic tracks looked just fine at Alturas. At Park Creek, Adam has been grooming the past couple days. He was able to get lupin, camas, shooting star, and skyrocket open with classic tracks and skate lanes and he was heading back out Sunday morning to groom larkspur and sego. At Alturas, Davinius was going to check out drifting snow on Sunday and try to knock down the larger drifts.
