Rhonda Jewett sent this email along with the photos…, “I was out skiing the freshly groomed trails in PLPP today and wanted to share it with you and the xc ski universe that comes to your website! First, the good news story: the parking lot and trails were packed today….

Thanks to Helen for coining this new term to describe accessing Upper Pocaterra from Hwy 40 before the barricade goes up on Dec 1. We’re all anxious to have additional places to ski so it’s been interesting to hear the trip reports from skiers who have been on Pocaterra. From…
