Moulton Grooming Update: Thursday 12/19. Machine packing began yesterday but was curtailed early because of high winds. Quite a few skiers have ventured out on the trails, so there are skied-in tracks. The skiing has been acceptable, but if you go I recommend abundant caution on the downhills. There are hidden rocks lurking.
