Open, 21º at 7 am. 10 km skiing open, Turkey, Grouse, Woodcock, Snow Goose, and Peregrine. Decent skiing with a few rocks poking thru. Skating will be a little soft and bumpy. Ian put a track on Turkey, Woodcock, and Peregrine. I would use rock skis, but that is just me. The photos below are from this morning in my corner of the field.
The snow total from the storm was 13.1 inches. The snow has settled some, and at the measuring stake is now 10 inches. The snow had a really high water content and we wanted it to dry out before we skied on it. Between 2 and 3 Friday afternoon the snow went from wet, to dry and powdery. And about 5 pm there were even a few snow flakes.
What a treat to be able to ski in November!

Yay! Made it to another winter and there’s ski-able snow on the ground at Thanksgiving. It doesn’t get better than this. Thanks for all the hard work to make Mother Nature sing.
I love how flexible Nordic skiers are and I’m not talking about touching toes. I mean people were here to visit their friends and relatives and eat turkey but when a surprise 13” fell at Wild Wings they borrowed or rented skis and adjusted their schedules to enjoy the white stuff.
