Good skiing, almost all around

The snow trickle has provided and conditions in town are currently about the best we have had so far. At Sunset Hills we finally set a classic track this week and cover is excellent all the way around with packed powder conditions. Highland Glen likewise finally has a classic track though it is on the thin side. The trail platform at Highland has smoothed out remarkably and there is very little grass showing except for at the tops of the south facing hills where there is no snow. These spots are easy to get around, fortunately and the overall conditions are packed powder on an increasingly level base. Bridger Creek is still just the lower loops and it is thin in a few spots but skiable. There is still not a classic track at Bridger Creek but dont let that stop you from enjoying a nice ski.

Sourdough has enough snow that we can finally set a track all the way to the trail head and the rocks are now all covered. The first 2 miles are seeing a lot of walker traffic and are bumpy and crusty in places. Please gently remind walkers to not walk on the classic tracks if they are doing so and to give skiers some space. We all need to share the trail up there as there are lots of people on a narrow, often slick trail. Skiers, please take the first two miles carefully and walkers, if you read this, please allow space for skiers by not taking up the entire width of the trail with your groups (walk as close to single file as you can). Above mile 2, the skiing is outstanding and the trail is groomed to both Mystic Lake and Moser Divide.

General reminders: No foot traffic on the in town ski trails, no bikes on any of the groomed ski trails. Please help us out by being ambassadors if you see this activity. In addition, please keep dogs off of the in town ski trails and if you are skiing off trail around town with a dog, such as in the fields at Highland Glen, dogs are required to be on a leash (City Ordinance).

We have warm, windy weather coming for the next couple days so think good thoughts for our snowpack and hopefully things will turn around again.
