On January 13th, after rolling all trails at Alturas Lake through 6 to 12 inches of new snow, Davinius celebrated with St. Knut and some Nuutipukkis, as the wind continued sculpting bizarre creatures across the snow blown meadows.
Grooming will continue both there and at Park Creek.

After more than a foot of snow covered ski trails at Alturas Lake, Davinius and Chadeus Maximus spent Saturday beating down the drifts with multiple snow machine passes. Davinius planned on returning on Sunday to do some rudimentary rolling before the next major storm. “All this hard work is for the birds!” he was heard to mutter.
At Park Creek, Adam, the first man of grooming, and his new trainee, Big Bowler Sean, were packing and rolling also, trying to stay ahead of forecast precipitation. Touring should be ok at both areas but expect rough soft trails.
With new snow over night, trails at Alturas will be rolled again on Monday.

On Tuesday, January 7th, in celebration of Russian Orthodox Christmas, all trails to the east of Alturas Lake Creek were double ginzu groomed for skate and classic. Wolves gathered around a Christmas Tree in the Forest agreed that the trails were the very best they had seen this season and that the cross country skiers looked to be delicious as well.
