Alturas Lake Ski Trails
On Tuesday, the 9th of March, the temperature at 10:10 a.m. was about 24 degrees at the Alturas Lake Ski Area. A light snow was falling and we estimate that 2 -5 inches of new snow had accumulated between the highway and the lake since last night. Grooming is scheduled for midday today. Yesterday, trails were given a ginzu treatment to breakup the hard pounded glazed surface left on skating lanes after Sunday’s massive attack by happy skiers attending the 8th annual Sawtooth Ski Festival. A grand success by any standard, happy smiling faces under a memorable sun, everyone looking up and cheering the swans overhead, veering victorious against the bright the blue sky, sour kraut and focaccia, tortellini and cookies… ahhh, but now snow is covering all signs of that good time we had…. and at the Alturas hilltop soup kitchen site, as the snow piles up, two ravens share a last bite of bagette and a good laugh, arrrrrr…. arrrrrrr… thanks to all. Bye now
