WOW!, that sounds way more cheerful than anything Old Davinius could come up with. He is currently researching ways to turn down the positivity knob on his computer… in the meantime, the skiing is actually pretty good to just fine. Look out for rocks and stumps.

Trail conditions remain pretty much the same on Sawtooth Valley cross country ski trails. Extremely low snow levels (a few inches) and extremely low temperatures (minus 17 this morning) make it extremely hard to recommend the trails to anyone who is not a real extremist. On the positive side, it is a sunny, extremely beautiful day. Stumps, sage brush and rocks should be expected and appropriate care must be taken.
