5º at 7am. Forecast high 23º.
There are snowflakes in the forecast. Doesn’t take much too make me happy! We are wishing for snow. Chuck’s mom always said, “If wishes were fishes” (I googled the rest) we’d all have a fry we’d eat and we’d eat until we would die. Or, the other version, a little more optimistic, If wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets. ...

Ian is driving around and around. The snow we have is ground up and fast. Yesterday Eddie and Ro skied the Woodcock/Snow Goose, their everyday ski. We had two people, never on skis before, ski for 4 hours. They skied 2 Turkeys, 2 Woodcocks, and 1 Snow Goose. They loved it and hoped to come back today. And 2 people snow shoed the Goshawk and Middle Blue Jay. They were very happy and tired. ...

Everyday the snow is different and the same.
As of 7am, the snow is hard and fast. Saturday and Sunday the temperature was 45º and 40º respectively. Which meant that after being ground up, the temperature softened the snow and the skiing was pretty darn good. Spring like.
Today is another story. Frozen up, not solid, like rain washed, but hard frozen granular. Ian will drive around and around and grind up and shave the frozen snow. No wax skis work great. If you have wax it will wear off. Skiing is fast. If you are new to the sport, snow shoeing would be the way to go. ...

Ian is going around and round again this morning.
Everyday the snow is different and the same. First, about yesterday. Ian ground the trails, again, fast and very skiable. Some people were on snow shoes, some people snow shoed and then skied and some people just skied. The temperature did go up, went to about 45º. The skiing was good, slower and fun. ...

Ian is going around again this morning. He is going to try to put in a track as the temperature goes above freezing. The skiing is faster this morning than later after, say 11ish.
The happiest campers yesterday were the snow shoers. They tromped around the Blue Jay and were all smiles. ...

The skiing is fast. If you are new to skiing, it is a good time to try snowshoeing.
2º at 7:00am.
Forecast high, 25º.
Ian has been round and round with the groomer. There is skiable snow on top of frozen granular. No tracks.
This is double pole skiing and good for klister. Wax on waxed skis wore off yesterday in about 10 minutes. ...
I’ve been skiing here since before I can remember. As a kid I took this place for granted, but am now becoming (more) grateful. So much work gets put into these trails and it shows. It’s the end of March and the skiing is still… Read more “I’ve been skiing here since”
I love that run on Upper Jay! The tracks are in the perfect place. Thank you Ian! I was once a groomer and I want to point out that setting track with the Tidd Tech is a very deliberate affair. If you want to stop… Read more “Groomer to Groomer”
