7 km, fast this morning. Slowing down as the snow falls, with the possibility of more terrain with new snow.

Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6:30 am is 26º. The forecast high is 27º, and snow. I am seeing 2-7 inches of snow in the 24 to 36 hours.

Ski conditions yesterday and this morning BEFORE snow; most of the people who came out yesterday were strong skiers, and they were happy. Will told me ski conditions were similar to world cup conditions, skiable, hard, and fast. He and Ethan were happy skiers. Michael and Sheri put their skis on skied down the field and decided they would be way happier to wait for more snow. We had about 30 skiers yesterday and only 2 decided not to ski.

AFTER the snow starts to fall today. Conditions will change, the skiing will slow down after the 100 flakes or so. However, the base is now really solid, and falling will hurt. Slow surface, hard, solid base, after the new snow.

We are hosting a Chickadee shoveling party today. Check in for details if you have a desire to shovel. It is good, honest, satisfying work. The photo above is from last year’s shoveling party on the Chickadee.
