On December 26th, while old groomer Davinius celebrated his mighty fine birthday with an interplanetary excursion, Chad and Adam touched up ski trails at Alturas and Park Creek. The trails are looking good at both areas and the skiing is just fine, but low snow and freezing ginzu groomers have limited directional sign placement, classic tracks and ultimate ski trail perfection. While still open for skiing, the Saturday ginzu grooming scheduled for Alturas lake trails has been suspended so that our ginzu mechanic can work on frozen actuators and broken electrical connections.
