We received another 3 inches of snow yesterday and last night, and it continues to snow this morning. Groomer Butch has snowcombed and set fresh tracks on the Trapper’s Cabin trail, and intends to snowcomb the Rolling Hills trail next, followed by the rest of the trails. The Blizzard Pond loop behind the practice area, in addition to the practice area, now has abundant man-made snow, is groomed, and is in excellent for demos and lessons.
