Open, -2º at 6am, clear and moonlit. Great skiing. 25 km classic, the skate lane is still soft in places, which makes the skating more work. Dress warm, the temperature is warmer than yesterday, but still cold enough to use your mittens, and hood, layers on your legs and body. Remember your neck warmer.

Walking out the door to this! 1/22/2019

The skiing is packed powder. “The Lower Trails”, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Turkey, Goshawk, and Peregrine are packed with a track. “The Upper Trails”, Chickadee, Loon and Middle and Upper Blue Jay are packed but not tracked. A relatively easy backcountry ski.

The weather will  warm up with some precipitation for Wednesday and Thursday, and then another cool down. Skiing today is great. For conditions on Wednesday and Thursday check back.  Should be good skiing again by the weekend.

Moonlight on the snow. And the beginning of sunrise. 1/22/2019

And this is why I get up so early…..time to start the fire.
