Groomed before each weekend I think...and pounded out by days end on Saturday. Seriously, it's great in the mornings if the groomers been out the night before. I like how often they groom that trail in.

Quartz is the one area they seem to keep on schedule as it's used the most and they keep a groomer in the lot. Very rarely do you hit a bad trail, but it can get beat up that first day if there's lots of sleds.

Quite the views!!!

I have NEVER been to Quartz when it was clear... =(

Personally love to because I've never cross over anywhere either in fear of not knowing the area.

Also, your time stamp is wrong on your pictures =)

Rode at Quartz today (Jan.26) and it was tracked out... BUT the snow was still soft and there was lots of good areas to play on/in. Even more exciting was that it was completely clear all day, my first time ever there with a clear sky all day, SUPER SWEET!

Since when did they let "GINGER KIDS" out in the mountians :nono:, Do you not know how bad of a sunburn "your kind" can get at that altitude Brad ?

To make sure that my pasty skin did not get overexposed to the high-altitude sunshine, I periodically made sure to put myself and the sled upside down in the snow. Safety first!
Polaris-killer, at various points of the day, provided examples of this technique as well as descending hills without a sled.
