Open at 9 am. The temperature at 7 am is -8º. And on this brisk morning the sun is shining and the sun rise beautiful. It is crisp and the snow is creaky. Cold snow is slow snow. The forecast high for today is a balmy 12º.

The hard pack base has a great track and really good skate lane. Ian cleaned up around the barn last night and re-groomed the Turkey and Grouse. Above is grooming last night. So nice to have enough snow when the temperatures are low to use the big machine with good heat. 10 km open for classic and skate, low trails. Chickdee, Loon, and Upper Blue Jay a little bumpier, but a great ski for a stronger skier.

And this is the skiing from yesterday.
