Following closing day a few cat drivers will spend a few days working key areas on the hill. They will doze the summer service road, not quite to ground, but close. Over the next 2-3 weeks, the sun and warm weather will melt the remaining snow off the surface so we can have a nice dry road for operations and maintenance. Where possible, they will clear much of the snow off our summer hiking and biking trails. After spending the spring, managing the snow to make it last as long as possible, the drivers are now trying to clear the snow for summer travel and recreation.
