Crust cruising Coyote
On Saturday morning, March 20th, the temperature at 9 a.m. was around 9 degrees at the Alturas Lake ski area and the sun shone brightly from a clear blue sky. Skating lanes are reportedly excellent on all trails, however, classic tracks look shallow, slumped, shaggy and a bit sad. Crust cruising appears to be great for coyotes and other light weight creatures, but skiers weighing over 14 stones are advised to exercise caution in venturing too far from road or trail when the sun reaches the zenith of its powers.
