Ski Report
Great conditions out there today. (Thanks Kenton!) Lots of snow left...temperatures are definitely warming though. Hit the trails in the morning for best conditions. Tomorrow (Sunday) should be great too.
Looks like we might get some crust conditions coming this week. Stay tuned for details.

Bonus Grooming Day!
Our last grooming of the season will take place sometime in the coming week, after this latest storm passes through. Our grooming crew is consulting with the weather guru to figure out the optimal day.
Stay tuned for details. Thanks for your support.

weekend plans
We had planned on one last day of grooming today, but with the system settling in and the forecast, it looks like yesterday will be the last grooming of the year. Tomorrow being Easter, we have no groomers available. If you have been up this week, you would have noticed the effect of the dirt-layer(s) in the snow pack. It has made the conditions 'interesting' at best and I suspect the spring season will not be up to our usual standards. With that, thank you for your support of the GMNC. WRobertson |

grooming update 4/4
Kenton reported 8-10" of new snow, with about half falling during the day. Will groom most of the Skyway/County Line system tomorrow, Sunday. Next grooming will be later in the week following the next storm, or possibly next Sat. Remember, this will be the last week of the '08-'09 season for skiing the groomed trails provided by the GMNC.

Glenn Randall places 3rd at U.S. Nationals
Those of us who have been skiing on the Grand Mesa for many years and have followed our GMNC races will remember Glenn Randall. I remember skiing in one of our races and having him teach me what "Track!" means. I stepped aside and little kid about half my height went blasting by. That was my first meeting with Glenn Randall. Glenn went on to be a star cross-country runner for Palisade High School (his own school, Plateau Valley, didn't have a team), and then to Dartmouth University where he starred in both cross-country running and cross-county skiing.
Glenn most recently placed 3rd, bronze medalist, at the U.S. National Championships. This was his first national championship podium.
