Soup for the Hardy

The Park Creek chili feed and poker run and the ski club’s Saturday night silent auction and dinner were well attended and a lot of fun for all involved. However, Sunday looks to be a soggy day for the 14th annual soup kitchen social at the Alturas Lake ski area. After temperatures in the 40’s  and light rain that fell throughout Saturday night, the precipitation turned to a wet snow at about 6:30 a.m. on Sunday. With gusty winds expected through the morning, the soup kitchen site will be moved from its usual hilltop location to the more protected wooded area on Over the Hill Trail at its closest point to the highway. Even so, we expect this will be a soup kitchen for the hail and hardy rather than the meek and mild. Trail grooming and skiing conditions will be less than optimal.
