Expect rapidly changing conditions at the ski area, with frozen solid mornings quickly degrading to mushy, sloppy mid-day skiing. All the volunteer labor we could muster yesterday went towards reclaiming the snow machine stranded on the upper reaches of the CC Road yesterday. And quite a bit of effort was involved in digging it out and towing it home (if home is the repair shop, which it may as well be). A big shout out to Phil, Brad and Chris for their efforts yesterday.
The kind of weather we're currently experiencing now really requires daily grooming, and we simply do not have the manpower available for that. So expect less-than-stellar conditions at the area for the foreseeable future. Right now it's looking like the next groom will not take place until the beginning of next week. There's not a thing I can do about that, sorry to say. The best I can do is to keep you all informed when something does happen.
A special word of caution to those of you brave enough to ski to the upper stretch of the CC Road; watch out for the large hole left vacant by the rescued machine. Although efforts were made to fill the hole, it still presents a hazard, most especially on the descents. Please use extra care up there.
The rescue team put in a total of 12.75 hours bringing the machine down.
