Good afternoon everyone...it's been a while sine my last update. Another great season is in the books, the course is winterized and ready for snow and seasonal staff is gone until next spring. What a stretch of incredible weather we've had this last month. Looks like that has come to end with a couple inches of snow on the ground this morning and dropping temperatures. Last night we had a wind gust on our weather station of 47 mph! Thankfully it looks like our tarps held up on the greens and we didn't lose any trees on the property.
I wanted to thank everyone for staying off the course this fall while we "winterized" the course. As long as mother nature doesn't throw us any crazy curves this winter we should be in great shape for spring. The elk have been moving in small groups this year and I imagine this cold/snowy weather will get the remaining herd moving. We've had upwards of 6-7 moose that have been around the property recently and several families of deer..a couple of really nice bucks. We have instituted our winter closures on the south side of Spring Gulch Road for critical winter moose habitat. The rest of the property will stay closed until we have enough snow to start grooming the cross country course..we need at least 6-8" on the ground before we start that. Below are some pictures of wildlife this fall. Have a great week and stay tuned for further updates on the property, wildlife, etc.
