Today, Tom and I hauled the firewood and stacked it in front of the hut. As soon as we get the ax up there we can work on splitting it up into usable pieces. I think we have enough to get through the winter but we will see as time progresses. There has been no [...]
We packed all the trails for the first time today. There is 12-16” of snow on most of the trails, with a few bare spots in the areas that get a lot of direct sun or where the trees capture the snow. For the most part everything has good coverage. We rolled part of Cutler, [...]
We will be taking the remainder of the equipment up this Saturday and hope to start packing the trails. There was over a foot of snow in the shaded areas when we pulled the trailers in and there has been about 6” of snowfall since then. I will let you know on how it looks [...]

Greetings, It has been mid 40’s and sunny the last three days on the mountain and I’m sure the trails are pretty iced up. There was about 5” of new snow earlier in the week but with no fresh snow, we are not going to groom at this time. There is a chance [...]
Greetings, There is supposed to be a bit of snow coming in for the mountain, now until Saturday. The plan right now is to groom tomorrow night and hope we don’t get more than an inch or so after that. The weather for Saturday is calling for cloudy, 30% chance of snow and a [...]
Greetings, Tom, Hermes and I just got back from grooming Sibley and Cutler, including one pass through the Blue Creek Loop with the roller. There was about 5” of settled powder since the last grooming and the trails are in excellent shape! Saturday is going to get a little sticky in the sunny [...]
Greetings, We have finally got a break in the weather with only 4” of snowfall this week. Last Fridays grooming was an adventure to say the least. 12-14” of new snow and 5 of us spent the evening packing it down (when we weren’t getting stuck). We suffered our first grooming casualty when Matt [...]
