Washburn update 1/11
Cleaned up the deck this morning. Not to sound like a broken record, but stubble is still there, along with some leaves and thin spots. It is still rock ski season. Keep your fingers crossed for snow.

Another week has gone by, and again little to no new snow. None of the trails have any classic tracks. Cassian was brushed today, and will firm up with the colder evening temperatures. Washburn will be taken care of tomorrow. At Nose Lake, the sled developed some mechanical problems and …
