We will see some clearing this afternoon with mild temperatures in the 30′s. Friday’s storm is looking to be all snow for our region and we should see some measurable snow by Friday night. Grooming last took place Monday from the Gauge Road Trailhead to Flagstaff Hut. Trails are thin but very skiable. Ski in for lunch or plan a multi-day hut-to-hut adventure.
