Completed

Groomed for skate and classic – super nice. DOT even plowed the highway! and N. Douglas neighbor Todd plowed the parking lot yesterday!!

The Good, the bad, the beautiful

The good: Pioneer rd grooming underway at 8:30; classic track will be set. The bad: be careful on North Douglas Hwy beyond the launch ramp; it’s a frozen mess The beautiful: not only is it awesome outside everywhere, sea lions will greet you on your way to ski!...

P Rd Groomed

Groomed for skate and classic. Surface is a bit soft and coverage is thinner the further south (wetter too) you go. Rocks at the old wash out. N. Douglas Hwy from school bus turnaround is unplowed, deep and heavy. Islandboy

Wow!

Initial Packing This morningg

Squires & Islandboy will be out there this morning working on the 24″ of light powder snow. We will be initially using the CanAms to track pack and then hopefully switch to a roller. Not sure how it is going to turn out with the low density snow. If you come...

OMG

The Pioneer Rd is dangerous right now with strong winds and multiple windfalls. When the storm abates we will be out there clearing a path. If you want to help give Wayne Carnes a call. The good news is we have been able to break in one of our new machines and expect...

Still Skiable

However we are not grooming due to the gravel patches that are hard on the equipment. When we get sufficient snow cover we will start grooming again – maybe this season and definitely next season :). wc

Holding off due to saturation

You may have noticed a wee bit of liquid from the sky. Apparently +.25″ overnight. First concern is to do no harm/not make a muck of what is there. Having consulted THE Oracle, the sagacious advice is “I would leave it alone.”
