Apparently the Doldrums were groomed at noon.  Reports of terrible conditions were flying around this morning, but it was fine when I headed out.  45 minutes before this photo was taken, there were young, old, very- very-new and seasoned skiers EVERYWHERE!   The sport seems to have caught on.   But as the sun sank –  poof!

The doldrums are always busy – it was a zoo yesterday!!!!!! Herridge was lovely today but getting thin and definitely no sign of any groomers anywhere.

I love the new signs in the Park “Have you got your ski pass?” I want to reply “No. Have you got a groomer?” The evidence of a groomer is harder to spot than Moose in the summer. Our musician here had a picture of one after an early snow fall so we do know that they exist.

Thanks for the photo updates on the Park.

I agree Ross, so far this year I have spotted more deer 6 in total, then Groomers a big ZERO so far.
