Weekend outlook

Despite the warmer days, our trails have been holding up reasonably well. I skied all of the in town trails on Thursday and found very little transformed, crusty snow though there are some sunny spots that are melting out a bit. Cover is thin but the skiing at all of the in town venues is good! Sunset Hills and Bridger Creek in particular are skiing very well. Highland Glen is bumpy and there is a bit of grass showing, but not much in the way of dirt and rocks.

Sourdough is rough, so be ready for rocks and take it slow in the lower miles or on the Moser side. From the bridge to Wild Horse is quite good, but the last mile to Mystic is bony again. Expect plenty of foot traffic in Sourdough over the weekend and please be courteous to other users and give them some space. In the lower miles, please ski carefully and slowly and if it looks safer to walk some of the bad spots, please do so.

With the thin cover and a couple more warm days, we are not doing any grooming in order to help preserve what we have until it snows again. There has been some runner traffic at Highland, which is unfortunate as we are not able to groom the deep divots the left out of the trail due to the thin snow. Fortunately, it looks like a tiny bit of snow on the way Sunday, which is better than nothing. While you wait for the trails to refresh, come out to Bozeman Brewing for our Sunday Funday event with them. A portion of beer sales on Sunday afternoon (12/8) will go to BSF Trails.

Cheers!
