1/6/10 The snowcat blew a hydraulic line last Sunday, but we have it fixed now. We are still don't have enough snow to groom real effective. This last storm only put down a few inches of new snow. We are doing what we can.

On 1/6/2010 Beaver Creek was groomed.

Hoping to groom Swan Flat on 1/8/2010.

Still hitting rocks in the Sinks, Amazon Trail and near all trails heads.
1/2/10 While grooming on Saturday night the snowcat developed a hydraulic leak: Snowcat down until further notice.
12/31/09 We have tried grooming a few runs back on the 22nd 23rd, and 26th, but have suspended grooming until we get another 12 inches of snow. We have been hitting rocks and bending teeth on our tiller. We will see what this storm brings in this weekend. Maybe we can get out on Monday.
12/19/09 We have not started grooming yet. There is only 12 inches of snow by the Sinks, but in the higher elevations there is a lot of snow.
