Moonlight grooming and good skiing!

ra-5a4bd91746f71523

Open, 5º at 7 am, clear. blue sky and a stunning sunrise. Forecast today, blue sky and 27º.

The skiing is good. Track is like this except for a few spots with thinner snow coverage. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine are all open with mostly good coverage. A few thin spots here and there.

Dick and Ian shoveled on Friday. Saturday the shoveling moved to Snow Goose which was more of a project. The first photo is the largest of the shoveling areas. (out of about a dozen areas total.) The second photo is the after photo of the same spot. Third photo is Dick in the trees scooping shovel fulls of snow and tossing them to a pile. I would shovel up the pile into a sled and pull and dump in on the trail. Ian and Graham were doing the same thing. Forth photo, Dick, Graham, and Ian shoveling and throwing directly onto the trail. Rob did step in after this big spot and took over my shovel. Thanks to all the shovelers yesterday! And the last photo is just a tree down, clean up mess with some shoveling to do. All in all Dick and I both agreed we love to shovel and to be outside. Graham and Ian then groomed all this “new” snow into a wonderful ski trail we know and love as the Snow Goose.

    Wow, that’s some ambitious shoveling. Good job! I’d have joined you but my back is still recovering from shoveling my driveway. That’s my excuse anyway…

    You all are incredible! Well done. I can no longer shovel because of my back and I miss it. Otherwise, I’d offer to be out there with you next time you need a shoveler. So good to see the snow lasting with a little help from you all.
