Mac Arthur Park

No, it didn't rain last night, but the wind was rain on my parade, so to speak.

Still, near Hero status snow made for enjoyable grooming. The wind blew pillows of snow all over the trails I groomed, and these pillows weren't in their usual places. Trails with a North/South orientation were without pillows all together, while the East/West facing runs had drifts everywhere. These lead me into a sucker hole once or twice, where I had to lift my tiller to avoid auguring in...and to an extra downhill pass to clean up my mess.

I did more plowing that usual too...champagne-dry powder whipped by hurricane force winds makes for some huge drifts, and giant wind wells. I must have filled a dozen big tree wells last night. They kept reminding me of the Grand Canyon...

All in all, it was a quiet night. My old favorite BR350's windshield wipers failed, but the snow was dry enough that even with the wind, it didn't hit the window! We knocked out the Work Orders, save one winch project, re-winched two runs off the top, and spent our last half hour helping the Park Groomers get their list done!
