Hi fresh air seekers,
David here,
 
Trails were all groomed by midnight Dec 17.
‘Tis cloudy, and looks like it could snow a little.
And then the following 2 nuggets of info will be stale!
The snow is a little thin on the Orange and Yellow Skate Trails, with very occasional material showing that is not snow.
The classic trails can be similarly described. 
Folks are enjoying the trails here.
Every body has smiles when they come off the trails.
Trail head cabin and the Chalet in the Valley will be warm before noon Saturday and Sunday, and most days from Dec. 24 to Jan 1, 2010, inclusive. 
Both have heat on right now.
 
Trade up, Get your healthy and happy here, leave the bad stuff in the bush.
 David!!!
