Well, we have about 8 inches of snow. Great start to the skiing season.
We have been doing some work on the shelters and a little bit on the trails. The work on the trails is mostly fixing signs and maps that have been vandalized.
The work on the shelters includes: Pine on the interior of Moose Lake, New paneling on exterior of Moose. ( We will be painting it in the spring ) Fixed door at ski hill. Cut windows in bathrooms at Moose and Ski hill. We are going to get solar lighting installed in Jack Rabbit, Rundle and Tamarack.
The park removed trees and mowed trails in early October.
Over the summer and fall hikers have been using the shelters. I would ask that they pack out everything that they bring in.Garbage doesn't keep well at 32 degrees C above

I would ask skiers to please move over to the side of the tracks if you have to herring bone up a hill. Skiers travel both directions on the trails. The ones going the opposite direction that you are would like those tracks to go down the hill you just climbe
