This turned out to be a good season, if not a bit challenging to keep groomed at times. It was smooth sailing (mostly) until February, when high winds blew down a bunch of trees and debris, and that was on top of a tropical heat wave that settled in for about two weeks and burned up a lot of our great winter base of snow. Thankfully, we’d stayed on top of the grooming and the snow depth was good, so we were able to weather the challenges, so to speak. March was fabulous, with so many BIG snowstorms, but we didn’t have a fully-staffed grooming crew, so it was difficult to stay on top of the big influx of new snow. We managed and there were some great days in there, for sure!
Finally, we still have some fine spring skiing and there was even one last grooming this past weekend, with Kevin getting out and setting a fresh classic track to finish out the season. It was so nice Tuesday evening, with about 1″ of fresh snow on top from the little waves of precip that rolled through during the day.
Thanks to everyone who supported the efforts with volunteering and donations, etc. This is entirely a DIY volunteer program, so it belongs to all of you. We’ll put together another weekend of year-end volunteer work to get the fencing and signs down and stored away until next November.
