Monday in the Sunshine

Some of my friends went out early, and found the runs a little firm. By the time I got out there late morning. Ponderosa and Dividend had softened just the right amount.

Jolly Jack was not freshly groomed, but it was OK. If you go that way on fresh snow, or spring snow, take the lower path when you reach the end of where the cat has gone. It is a reasonably short diagonal side slip, and not too far to where the cat has come up.

We know the PK crossover fills in during the night winds, and we know that when the JJ traverse was started by hand and snow blower, that it filled in most nights. Over many years, I have suggested using some short sections of snow fencing - 8 to 10 ft , that could be moved along catching the wind blown snow and giving the cat something to work with. A fence at the corner of JJ and Honky Tonk could catch windblown snow and give the groomer some snow to carry forward.

The only thing that has changed over the years since I first proposed the short fences, is that I used to offer to move the fences daily. Can't commit to that anymore. 

RK had a blasting plan when the B's owned the hill. It was not funded. Brandan had a plan for last summer, but the project that would have had equipment up here did not go ahead.

Spring has been good - looking forward to the return of winter.
