A group of 5 of us took a tour on Davis, The Grand Portage, and The Steep Gullies Hike Back Trail this afternoon. As you can see, the snowfence at the entrace to Davis is catching a ton of snow. We will be sending the snowcats out the trail soon. The coverage on all the trails was decent, especially for the time of the year. We either, skied very slowly or side stepped our way down. The Grand Portage is solidly established and we had a nice, fun, little skin back to the base area.
Opening this terrain is still a ways off, but now we do have enough snow to travel in a slow and gentle manner. On top of seeing the Cat Drivers working the snowfences and traverses, you will see more and more Ski Patrollers tossing shots, ski cutting and ski packing out there.
This is why we build snowfences.
