Hi all,
Hopefully you've been out skiing since the weekend's little "refresher" doses of new snow. It was just what we needed after the little freeze/thaw hardening of the older snow last week. Nothing got really bad or anything, it's just nice to have some "freshies" to work with while grooming. One day last week saw some more firm conditions for the first time this season. Snow-pack is still holding well and I think things look great at the moment. There's a pretty good storm in the forecast for tonight through Friday, so hopefully that will really add to our already great ski season.
We did get out Monday night to blend/grind in the new snow on the Lower Guaje Trail, then bust drifts and wind-slab crust in the meadows, and then simply "mash" in the new/tracked snow on the upper tree trails from L-J-down to A, etc. (we groom in a counter-clockwise direction). It was a mish-mash of conditions and situations that required setting the teeth down in some spots, lifting then in others, and then combining methods in yet others still. No two parts of that trail system are the same!
Logan Ott also set some good track on most the system, so classic is great too. Travis Gibson went back up last evening to clean up the drifting and untidy passes from Monday nights' efforts. We had to pull out different equipment to run everything, so it needed just a bit more work here and there. A big thanks to those guys, and to Kevin Reid for keeping up the shade fencing maintenance work. The fencing is SO incredibly crucial to the grooming and continued great ski conditions.
Ski on!
