Surface conditions are packed powder and powder with average base depths of 14 to 44 inches. 32 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Ruthie’s, Snow Snake, and Smugglers’ Alley for a grand total of 122 acres of freshly groomed terrain. We plan to groom the bottom part of Shuttle tonight also.
