12/17/24: Today was the first Groom at Frater Lake! North loops were groomed today. Lots of fresh snow falling on about 6 inches average of existing snow. Today’s efforts were focused on getting a flat base for coming accumulation and improving blue diamond trail markers. Coyote loop has lots of exposed boulders and dramatic terrain variations, might be best to snowshoe that loop until we get considerably more snow.
