Just a heads up.............

 We lost power over night and I'm having a problem with the server for the webcams also.  So, some of the cameras are working and others aren't.  Live camera is on at motel, Rec. Center, Stillwater, McCauley base and Summit are all on at this time.  It may be Monday before I can get everything back online.  The people I need to talk to don't work on the weekend.

Let's hope!

 After the predicted R for early Saturday morning, cross your fingers we get enough snow to fix whatever damage the R does.  I'm hoping we don't have another winter, that the crappy weather always shows up just before the weekend and everyone has to make a last second decision if they are coming up or not.

Gates are open!

 Talked to trail foreman this morning, the gates are open and the groomers are out packing the trails.  More later.

Don't think..........

 You'll see on the info center video a few sleds outside.  I'm guessing they stopped in to see why the gate was closed and I'm guessing it didn't make them very happy.  Cross your fingers we get limited or no R Saturday morning and the gates get opened Friday morning.

Trails

 Just talked with the trail foreman and the plan, at this time, is to open the gates Friday morning if trials freeze back down.  There are still a lot of trees down and many water/slush areas.  By keeping the gates closed till Friday they are hoping for more of the water to drain off and not have what base we do have destroyed.

What a let down............

 You couldn't have asked for better snow or conditions than we had at 5PM on Tuesday.  A let down is an understatement to what we woke up to on Wednesday morning.  The R overnight washed away a good amount of the snow we got on Tuesday.  On the bright side next week's forecast is looking pretty good at this time.  Let's hope it all comes together.

Looking better..............

You couldn't ask for better snow than we got today.  Have wind tonight and we lost the power once already.   Not much else to report and cross your fingers the forecast for next week comes true.  If it does, we'll all be smiling with the riding conditions that we could have.
