More new snow

Location: MBT
Grooming done on: Sat. April 4, Noon
Tracked: yup
Conditions: Great, 6" more new snow.
Funky dust/dirt layer blew in with the wind as it started to snow Friday, snow is going to melt faster because of it. Get out there! Road and Bridge will begin plowing MBT and Turquoise Lake road in the next week-10 days to prepare for cycling season, my other favorite season.
Other: animal shelter to landfill road, east side.

End of Season

Official Grooming has ended on all trails. There is great skiing still
to be had, as the crust skiing, both classic and skating, should be
great for another month.

Leadville Trails

CMC - Hasn't been groomed in a while, but should be good skiing if you
don't mind the fresh snow.

Mineral Belt - Good skiing on the upper parts of the trail. The trail
through town has melted to pavement.

Tenn Pass - This is the last weekend of grooming. Should be great
skiing for the last weekend.

Mt Massive Mush

Location: Golf Course
Grooming done on: Sunday, March 1
Tracked: Skate, no classic track
Conditions: nice
Other: We have begun to put the trail in for the Mt Massive Mush sled dog race next weekend (Saturday and Sunday mornings, March 7 & 8). Please feel free to come out and ski the course this week, but please no dogs, snowmobile or walkers on the outer part of the course (the trail is still very soft and punchy, foot prints & sleds will damage the surface). Please come watch the race next weekend and do the Shelter Dog Shuffle on Saturday afternoon! Thanks.

Location: Mineral Belt Trail and Timberline Trails
Grooming done on: 6 February 2009
Tracked: Classic-Left Skate-Right
Conditions: Early Springlike conditions. Fast
Other: Mineral Belt Trail-complete
Timberline Trails:
1km, 5 km, 7 km, Slaugtherhouse Gulch, and Dedication.

There are no bad dogs, just bad dog owners. Dogs on both the Mineral Belt Trail and CMC's Timberline Trails need to be leashed. Your dog can't, so you clean up. Say NO to brown klister

CMC/Mineral Belt

The trails were all groomed at the end of last week and are in good
condition for either skating or classic. Look for the classic skiing
to get a bit trickier due to the warm weather in the coming week, but
the skating will only get faster! Enjoy.
