Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6:30 am is -13º with the forecast high at 2º. A dusting of snow overnight.
All 25 km of trails are open. Packed powder base. Hard squeaky snow. Cold snow is slow snow.
Ian and the Pisten Bully groomed the low trails last night. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine.
Jon and the snow machine groomed Middle and Upper Blue Jay.
Dress for success. Grab your warm gear. No cotton! Notice the bold print. Dry socks once you get here. Mittens not gloves. Hoods are great they go up and down easily, and protect you from the wind. Neck gaiters. Wool is a really good layer. If you stop skiing and are going back out, put on dry mittens at the very least. When it is cold out consume enough calories. And even in the cold you will sweat. A dry shirt for the ride home feels really good.
We will be open Sunday. As of right this minute the snow should start around 11 am. We are in the 10 to 20 inch range. Snow doesn’t fall ready to ski and for the first 24 hours it will be soft. Snow takes time after grooming to set up. I will let you now Monday morning how much snow fell and a projected time frame for getting all the trails ready
