Open, 16º at 7:30 am and cloudy. Expected high 23º and partly sunny.

10 km open. What we consider the low trails. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine. No Chickadee or Middle or Upper Blue Jay today.

The snow was frozen to start this morning. Thank goodness for the big machine. Ian has been in that machine since 3:30am. Around and around, using the tiller and grinding it up. He said 95% ground up nicely and the other 5% is either bumpy or harder. There is a track and it looks good.

I skied and it is very skiable and fun. I was on slow skis. I have skied all my life and I am 63. If you get here and skiing isn’t for you, you could always snowshoe to get some exercise and fresh air.

On the Snow Goose yesterday, Jamie and Hillary saw this Barred Owl. Look around while you are out there, you never know what you are missing.

And this happened yesterday too. Fun, giggles and fashion. A group of six, out for a really good time and they were successful. We love fun people!!!
