Closed today, hopefully open with limited skiing on Thursday. The temperature was 19º at 7 a.m., expected high 25º. The skies are sunny and clear early this morning. A cold front is coming thru this afternoon and will bring a snow squall and wind. Tonight’s low is forecast to be -2º.

Tuesday’s snow is enough to help get us skiing again. But only with a lot of work from Ian, and anyone he can get to help him. He will drive around today to pack the snow down. The snow that fell yesterday was/is light and fluffy. That means more work to get the snow to pack down and become a firm skiable base. Once Ian packs the trails out, he is then counting on the wind to move more snow into the trail, the packed out trail catching the blowing snow. (Like your driveway catches snow and makes drifts.) As the cold front blows through this afternoon another inch of snow is expected.

So, we are moving in the right direction. We are getting snow instead of the “R” word. But there is some work involved in getting to the skiing part. The skiing will be marginal in spots. Hope to see you soon!!

AND keep doing your snow dances!
