Fill’er Up!
Early this morning because of a fuel delivery snafu the grooming department was faced with the dilemma of a very thirsty Pisten Bully. The options were to spend much time hauling fuel with five gallon jugs or to simply drive on down to the gas station and fill it up. Being that the fill it up option made the most sense, a fringe benefit is that the pathway between Trail Creek and Wilson has been groomed today and while it is a shade gritty, if you’ve ever dreamed of skiing that section, today is your lucky day!
Speaking of filling things up, our ski trails have been nicely filled with 6-10 inches of light new snow. As of 12:45 PM it looks like the snow is winding down, the temperature is -3ºC/26ºF with light to moderate breezes. After its Wilsonian adventure the Pisten Bully got down to business grooming double passes with fresh classic tracks on the close field, Woolsey Woods, Moose Loop, and Armin’s. The rest of the trails received a single pass with a classic track. Conditions are soft and there is a bit of drifting in the fields, but it is so beautiful today with all the fresh white you won’t be disappointed.

Shooting Star Grooming Report
Last Updated: 12/12
The recent snow accumulations allowed us to set the classic tracks today. Although our snowpack is still on the lower side, we expect to continue setting the classic tracks for the foreseeable future. Anticipate snow showers today with occasional drifting. Outlook is for calmer weather tomorrow and conditions should continue to firm up through Friday. Next update will be Saturday. Have fun.
Below are some other details:
- Classic tracks won’t be set on holes 1 & 2 until more snow accumulates.
- Tight corners may be soft/rough as its difficult for the grooming equipment to navigate through them(Example: Sharp Turn from 8 Green to 9 Tees)
- Early Season Conditions Persist (Rocky/grassy/Inconsistent profile depth & compaction)
Enjoy!

Comments:Plowed a bunch of snow in the ditches and rolled out the trail to establish a base. The base depth is more shallow than the mowed grass. I’d recommend waiting till we get a few more inches of snow before skiing the Driggs Track. Let it snow!!!
