Looking great out there! Always watch for potential hazards, it happens in this business. **edit! 4:30 PM- Super Dave went out there with a shovel and leveled off the bump.

🚨🚨heads up! A rider reported a hump of snow that fell off of the drag on 889 west of the Mission Hill Overlook. He marked it with pink caution tape, and I have informed the groomer boss out there.
