On the mountain today to groom trails for the first time this winter. The big storm they predicted didn’t come through. There is 3 feet of snow at the groomer shed and more in the high country. It was -12 degrees when I got to the lake and parked and 5 to 10 degrees during the day. I groomed on inner trails near the highway, sno parks, and highway crossings. The trails were in better shape than reported to me by email with the rough trails by Spout to Woodland sno park, near the store, into Morning Creek Sno park, and on the backside of Baldy Mountain. Gordan creek was good but soft with no base, 3719rd was smooth, Andes down beaver slide to the sno park to 31rd was good but soft. The crossings had high banks but the mountain machines went right over them, but now they are in good shape for the rest of the weekend holiday. Removed five trees from the trail today. We will start on outer trails the first of the week. Thanks for your patience as this season’s start is latest I can remember.
