Groomed Trails: "B", "D", "G" and "I" today

As can be seen by the pictures,  the trails are covered and flat ---- but for the most part VERY THIN.  Warm today and the snow is going fast!  Still some off trail riding at higher elevations.   Like I say all trails are still covered, but way too thin for me to take the groomers out again......So again,  I am waiting for  the next major storm with nothing in the forecasts of any significance.   Enjoy the next several days and be safe!

Groomed Trails "I","F","D" and the top part of "B" today

Check out the pictures...groomer will return Saturday on trail "B" and lower third of trail "D".  Not enough snow for the Groomer on Trail "C".

Groomed Trails "B", "D", "G" and "I" today

A variety of trail conditions!  Some lower trails have bare spots and some are fine.  You will find most trails to be Very ICY in the morning hours---please be careful!!!!  Trail "G" still has some powder to enjoy.  Trail "C" out of Fananni Meadows did not have enough snow today for us to enter.  This past week a lot of riders have enjoyed the snow from our first real storm ---hope you were one of them.  Our engines will stay parked until the next MAJOR set of storms come our way--lets hope that time will be very soon!  Be safe and enjoy.......

Grooming began today!

Trails "I", "F" and "D" to the Warming Complex were groomed today.  The Warming Complex is open and ready for use!  If you had been out in front of me today you would have been plowing through 2-5 feet of Fresh Powder.  As warm weather is expected,  the snow will not last long.  The trails groomed today are beautiful and ready to use and as of tonight -- lots of ungroomed trails  with 2-5 feet of powder just asking for experienced fresh powder riders.  Like I say...conditions will not last long!

Just Waiting for Snow

Everything is in place -- We are just waiting for snow.
