Open, 1º at 7 am, clear skis. Forecast high 16º.

The skiing is really good. Trails open today, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Peregrine, Upper Blue Jay, Loon, and CHICKADEE. It is about 20 km. All with a track for classic skiing. And Peregrine, Grouse and Turkey are also packed out with a skate lane.

We hosted a BKL ski race on Monday afternoon. 65-70 kids skied, and it was great. The sun was starting to go down and the temperature was dropping, and it was cold. These kids are wonderful.

The photo above is of the first race of the day. “The Lollipoppers”, the 5 or 6 year olds, and 25 of them, were able to wear Sophie’s World Cup bibs! I don’t know that the little kids knew how special this was, but the adults did. Four age groups total, Kindergarten through 8th grade, it was a great afternoon.
