The forecast has degraded to a tenth to a quarter inch of liquid evil Thursday, temps near freezing Thursday night and Friday, followed by a deep below zero freeze Friday night. That gives them 2 grooms and one night of resurfacing 3 lucky trails to get ready for MLK Saturday.
Ooooof. This weekend is going to put the resort under the guns, literally.

Re: MLK weekend
Pico down to 9 trails?!?!? Hopefully they are just closing to preserve and didn't actually lose that much snow?

Re: MLK weekend
they can only open what they groomed and they can only groom the trails that have sufficient depth...my guess is anything but the snowmaking trails are thin at best...it was thin last sunday...sad, so sad....snowmobilers are weeping even harder...friday the 13th voodoo indeed...boston_e wrote:Pico down to 9 trails?!?!?
