Today was spectacular. We were the only 2 sleds on the mountain until 3pm when 4 sleds came up for the afternoon run.

I forgot the surprise. The groomer was on the trail early Tuesday morning. Groomed the trail from parking spot all the way up through Schreibers meadow and to the play area at Railroad Grade. God Bless the groomer! It was a fabulous surprise.

Condition 5/27

Most of the south side access is rocks, snow bridge gone, multiple creek crossings. Challenging, but doable with patience!
Good snow above, but going quick.

Did you go up behind the bathroom or through the meadow? I am hoping to go

Might be able to squeeze out a way through the forest still, but was getting thin last week. Photo is from this week.
