They must of used a snowmobile trail groomer, or it was a very tight fit!

An abomination.

And for what purpose?

They would need to launch an advertising campaign for people to even know it exists. It has to be one of the least skied trails on the hill.

Did they groom Roundabout? It's one of my favorite trails at K. That would be a travesty.

they opened Roundabout years ago so they could get a groomer in there for the mountain snowmobile tours. They had not been grooming it for awhile so must have thought it could use a touch up to open it again. I prefer it early season with at least a foot of POW and reserved (check video of cody knee deep in there).

I don't see how a groomer could possibly fit in there. The bottom i can see for a bit, but the opening seems too tight and then there is the tree midway down partway in the trail.
I agree, Roundabout is one of my favorite trails at K, and this is the first time I have ever heard of it being groomed...

They often groom Powerline (which is probably about four to maybe five feet wider than Roundabout). Perhaps they DO have a groomer than can fit in Roundabout. Shame though..'cause the bumps in Roundabout are tons 'o fun!

Sorry Doc...that is untrue. Roundabout...when first opened...was b a r e l y 6' wide...at BEST. Anyone on 203's etc were forced to do a nonstop...as you were really limited in the ability to even come to a stop while inside. Snowmobile tours?...nope.

Play your video and listen to it but watch Jerry in my sig pic at the same time, not Yes in the video. Listen to Yes but watch Jerry. Freaky. Sorta of a Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz thing going on. Freaky.

"Long Distance Runaround" was the B side of that 45 if I remember correctly. I think my dad had that single, and pretty much every Yes album ever made. He got me into them.
