The Tongass was angry. The heavy wet snow and dark wind slashed at trees that have stood for decades, dropping them with guillotine precision among the groomers and skiers on Kax digoowu Heen. What is your risk tolerance? Can you tell the difference between Hazard and Risk? There will be no grooming at Montana Creek until the danger is reduced.

Seriously, skiers and groomers narrowly avoided injury today as over a dozen trees fell on the trail. Saturday’s groomer may be an idiot, but he isn’t that kind of an idiot. Read the room.
