it’s 44°F this morning. It is too warm for grooming today, and in the interest of saving what little snow we have it has been decided to post pone grooming until either we get cooler temperatures and or snow.

38° here this morning. Alpine loop and spur trail skate lanes were groomed but with mixed results due to warm overnight temps. I decided not to go out on powerline so it hasn’t had grooming yesterday or today. Expect soft conditions.

31 in the valley but 36 up here. Closer to the sun I guess. No grooming yesterday, but we’re here this morning to get things whipped into shape. I’ll update around daylight…

Sorry, no grooming today! All 4 of our groomers had prior commitments. Temps stayed above freezing last night, so conditions should be soft and Spring like. Grooming will resume tomorrow if temperatures fall over night. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
