For the third time this month, we experienced accumulating snowfall. As of 9pm Friday, close to 6″ of snow had fallen and 8-10″ reported just west of here in Waubun and Callaway. With the ground not  frozen and almost an inch of rain before this snow it is pretty sloppy but plenty of good snow for some skiing.  It is fun to see the white and very pretty at Maplelag this afternoon!!  Still early in the year for the snow to stay for good but a reminder winter is getting closer and closer.

After a wet weekend, first two days this week starting out dry before wet weather looks to return. Big wind yesterday bringing down some leaves which was good. Always nice to have the leaves off the trees before the snow flies for real. The leaves on the trees are definitely hanging on longer than usual after a warm September than a couple hard freezes on October simply freezing and wilting the leaves. Has been an interesting Fall so far for sure.

Bullhead lake trail and the bootleg extension along with sections of Roy’s Run and Skaters Waltz extension seeing final Fall grooming yesterday, completing the major Fall trail work. We will continue fine tuning the trails here and there until the snow flies and working on trail signs. Photos below from Bullhead and bootleg extension yesterday.
