Spring’s just around the corner and Golf Maintenance is scheduled to conduct our annual practice of applying black sand on the greens to naturally aid in melting the snow. Based on the upcoming forecast, we anticipate temporarily switching to evening trail grooming this Friday (3/7)for allowing us time to perform maintenance on the greens during the colder mornings. Evening trail grooming begins at 5:30 pm and all skiers need to be off the trails by this time. Reminder, that conditions may be icier during the morning hours. Below is an approximate outline of the upcoming Maintenance schedule during March 7-11 (Weather & Equipment pending):

1. Friday (3/7): Evening Grooming begins at 5:30 pm, skiers need to be off the trails.
2. Friday & Saturday:  The snow on the greens will be packed down via our snowcat during the morning and early afternoon hours. TBD if black sand will be applied on Saturday.  Evening Grooming will begin at 5:30 pmdaily, skiers need to be off the trails.
3. Sunday-Tuesday: Black sand will be applied to the greens during the morning hours. Evening Grooming will begin at 5:30 pm daily, skiers need to be off the trails.
4. Wednesday (3/12): Grooming switches back to mornings, pending completion of maintenance practices.

Note, skiers may encounter some rough sections caused by equipment hauling materials to the Golf Maintenance facility, but skiing conditions should remain enjoyable throughout this process. This is a time sensitive operation and needs to be performed during this window, as more inclement weather is expected Tuesday (3/11) afternoon. Thanks, and we will send updates as needed, but may not provide the next update until Monday (3/10).
