The groomer went to Four Trees yesterday. It is spring time and the snow is heavy. The trails don’t hold up as well in this weather so watch for bumps. lj

The groomer went to Four Trees today and cleaned up the mess at Walker Plains. There’s a turn around at the top of Merrimac for about 5 or 6 vehicles. Do not attempt to go past there for now. The groomer will head to Big Creek parking lot tomorrow. Even though the weather still looks unstable for Saturday we are going ahead with plans for the Play Day. It commences at 10:00 a.m. with lunch between noon and 1 p.m. Hope to see you. lj

The groomer went out today in one and half feet of new powder. The basin is done, the head of cold water, and the cut off road were also done. The back road trail is broken but watch out for a huge hole near four trees. The weather for the play day is not looking good; the officers will make the call on Thursday whether to postpone or not. lj

Check this log for a update or call Debbie at Haskins for the latest news (293-9667). Remember the lunch is free to anyone so bring some friends for a good time.The groomer went to Four Trees yesterday in about 1 foot of new plus a little rain late in the shift. It went home via the cutoff road and is heading down Big Creek today. JWG

We have a few new groomers in training so becareful of the oops. They are doing a very good job for just starting out. Next week we are going to try and help the parking mess by Walker Plains. The rail road really fouled up the back road ..JWG

The groomer has been to Four Trees and Mill Creek. We had 4 to 5 inches of new snow this week and it is very heavy. lj

We groomed Big Creek yesterday. The snow was very heavy so it did not cooperate very well. Its very rideable but a little rough. We are working the basin today, its snowing now so it should groom up nice. Hope we see you saturday. jg

The trail to the top of Merimac on the back road has been groomed. Tomorrow they anticipate going to Big Creek parking lot. It has snowed on and off lightly most of the day. The trails should be great for the week end just be careful of the downed trees.

The groomer operators finished the Forebay Loop. As with the first half it was loaded with downed trees. They plan to head toward Four Trees next. LJ

The groomer is up and running. It ran most of day but only groomed half of Grizzly Forebay due to the fallen trees. The trees have unloaded their heavy load so maybe they will stop falling and the grooming will progress at a faster rate. LJ
