The Pisten Bully wakes up
The snow added up to about a foot of snow today and last night….that is on top of the 1/2 foot from yesterday. That’s what we are used to measuring snow in “feet”. The groomers were out for a long shift this morning including the Pisten Bully. They will be back out tonight and in the morning. About 20 km was powertilled, most of it twice, and about 40 km of tracks set 2-3 times this morning.
