Comments:
The trails received 1" of new snow today. It has cleared now and the
skiing is very good to excellent with this inch on the groomed firm
base. The new snow has slowed the classic tracks down to a more
comfortable speed.  We expect some high winds (20-30 mph) starting
tonight and tomorrow. If quite a bit of debris comes down we'll
regroom the trail again for the weekend. We plan to continue grooming
the trails till the end of March. 20% lodging discounts available in
March.
