Open, 30º at 6:30 am. A half inch of new snow. Forecast high today 34º and continued clouds.

17 km open. Woodcock, Turkey, Snow Goose, Grouse, Peregrine, and most of Chickadee. A beautiful day to ski.

Amazing how it doesn’t take much new snow to make the woods beautiful again, we have the whole snow globe effect.

You might need your MaxiGlide. Right this minute the skiing is great. It could get a little sticky, and then it could get a little slick. Or it might not. The nature of the beast this year. When the temperature is this close to 32º day and night, the snow changes with very little temperature change. There can be variable conditions on the trails, depending on the spot and what’s underneath the snow.

Planning skiing for the weekend: Saturday looks like good weather and good skiing. Sunday is good weather, good skiing with a great big BUT – we have a kids race Sunday morning. The racing starts at 10. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 11:45. Plan on an afternoon ski for fun Sunday.
