Alturas trails

After two days of grooming deep snow drifts, ski trails to the East of Alturas Lake Creek were transformed from a powdery snowy wasteland into quite serviceable trails groomed for skate and classic. Trails to the west of the creek were still buried. Snowfall continues…

YOUTH, GO SKIING!

On this date in 1848 – Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published The Communist Manifesto. In celebration of this earth shaking event, we would usually suggest that the proletariat and the bourgeoise join together, forget class struggle and go for a nice ski in the woods.

Calm before the storm…

After days of repeated grooming, ski trails in the Sawtooth Valley are rated “pretty darn good, not quite perfect”. Hard to beat that, but we’ll keep trying.
