The dry and warm weather continues but we still have skiing in town and at Sourdough. I took a look at Sunset Hills, Highland, and Bridger Creek today and while the snow has transformed and gotten crusty, coverage is holding on. Expect skiing to be crusty and fast during the morning hours and if temperatures stay below freezing. The warm weather managed to smooth the trails out a bit and conditions may resemble crust cruising. Sunset Hills in particular has good coverage and with its largely north aspect, may be a little more forgiving. Highland Glen is bumpy and crusty but skiable though the southerly exposures may be more grass and dirt. With low snow, Highland is very difficult to groom as those trails are much bumpier and more uneven. The lower loops at Bridger Creek have decent coverage and while things will be a bit crusty, it will be skiable. We may try some grooming on Sunset Hills and Bridger Creek here and there but for the most part, we are waiting for more snow as grooming gradually wears the trails down and it is more important to keep some snow on the trails.

Sourdough is holding up a bit better than expected; we groomed it Thursday morning and are back out again Friday night grooming to Wildhorse. From the trailhead to mile 1 is rocky, from mile 1 to 3.5 is decent, mile 3.5 to 4 is very thin, and from the bridge to Wildhorse is good. As always, use caution on the lower miles, keep your dogs close, and watch out for other people and dogs!

If you have time, do a little snow dance; we'll keep at it when we can and when we really need to but we really need more snow, at this point.
