Open, 10º at 6 am. 10º this morning, high 30º and sunny. Fast early and late. Slower in the middle of the day. 23 km open. This is the kind of skiing makes some people smile from ear to ear loving every second. And some folks switch to snow shoes. Most people are somewhere in between.
Kids race in the morning. Skiing for everyone else will be more pleasant in the afternoon.
A few more details; fast in the morning, slowing down during the middle of the day, fast again late in the day. Ian groomed the Turkey and Grouse last night with 2 tracks. He groomed the down track from the upper trails, up and down with the snow cat 5 times. The rest of the trails will soften with the temperature and the sun. Ask in the shop if you have any questions.
We have a kids race starting about 9 am. Ending around noon. Skiing in the afternoon will be the best. Less crowds and softer snow. If you aren’t part of the kids race scene aim to get here after 12 pm.
This is an old race day photo. Today will be Klister if you have skis to wax.
