happy winter solstice! Looks like it’s much colder in the valley than up high. Will wait for temps to cool down up high and more snow before grooming again. Happy solstice and do a snow dance too! Smile:)!

40 degrees. Alpine groomed yesterday. No new snow and lots of sunshine. Powerline rolled today but not much snow in spots.

36°F, no new snow. Warm temperatures will make grooming difficult but we will try to open up powerline this morning.

23F, 3” of new wit 1/2” crust on top. We’ll be working on Alpine first. Not sure how the crust will groom out. Alpine descent not recommended. We’ll update later.

35F, rain and a new 3” of wet heavy snow. With temperatures predicted to rise throughout the day I’ll only make a mess of things I attempt to groom😖! What a cluster!

I suspect that we have several inches on our trails with rising temps. We’ll take the roller out before it warms up and will update later.

30F, 2” new. Groomed Alpine, but only upper Alpine is recommended. Turned out surprisingly well considering the illegal travel.

Still waiting on snow! Should we ge 2-6” overnight we will start grooming again Tuesday morning. NOAA models suggest that we may have to wait until Wednesday.
