Is there such a thing as too much snow?
Two groomers were out today. From HWY 32 to Butte Meadows is like a freeway thanks to Butte County Road Crew. From Butte Meadows to the Snowmobile Park------put simply----is absolutely not passable without a snowmobile and a great deal of skill. Power lines, trees, and very deep powder..... I did make it to the Grooming Shed today ---Got my snowmobile stuck twice and the other groomer 3 times! Hopefully this section of the road will be completed by tomorrow afternoon. At the Snowmobile Park there is 5 feet of fresh powder. We started grooming Trial "I" and got 3 miles from the park and was brought to a complete stop at full throttle by extremely heavy powder. We will try again tomorrow, but this time with 8 snowmobiles in front of us to pound the powder down. Hopefully we can make it to the warming hut. Heavy snows as we left Butte Meadows this evening and the Warming Hut is 6500 feet not the 5300 foot level that stopped us today????????
