They plan on it. Cat is in for tracks at some point and Trevor says they hope to be back for this season. Last year they couldn't keep up and the entire operation was buried

How do they keep on top of the snow? Do they dig or lift the sea-cans and reposition (can't imagine)? Must get like 50ft a year up there I would imagine.

They dig down with the groomer. A couple of years ago we helped dig out the groomer that was about 15 feet under the snow. Even though the glass was covered with plywood, the front windsheild was busted from the weight of the snow. There has only been a couple of years (that I can remember)that the Avion trailer was totally buried.

That is a sweet picture. It's only in phots like that that a guy really realizes how much snow falls in a winter. Thanks for posting 'em.
