Open, -10º. Mostly cloudy. Expected high -4º. Ian is out putting a single track in Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Goshawk and Peregrine. The snow has not set up yet and skating will still be soft and not fun. The Chickadee, Loon, Upper and Middle Blue Jay were all packed yesterday and skied, quite a bit. They will still be a back country ski experience today.
Open, 11º at 7am and 11 inches of snow, and snowing. 25 km classic open and packed, no tracks. The grooming continues. Packing down trails today. Really nice beautiful backcountry feel. NO SKATE LANES until Wednesday or Thursday. Drive slow, drive safe!
Open, 14º at 7am. Partly cloudy. Pink sunrise. Really good skiing. All trails are open, all great skiing. The Chickadee, Loon and Waite's Place Loop are fabulous.
The skiing is fabulous. 25 km open. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine, great track, really nice skate lane. Chickadee, Loon, and Middle and Upper Blue Jay, packed out nicely with a track in places.
Carry a knapsack. If you overdress you can carry your extra clothes.
When Nordic skiing we all warm up quite a bit. So that makes it a great sport for cold weather (No chairlift). Sweating does happen. A dry shirt to wear for your second lap and/or to wear home is really nice.
