Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6 am is 24º, and it will be dropping all day. The wind is blowing snow into the trails (yeah!) and wind blown snow makes for slow skiing. Trails will be soft today. It takes time for the snow to set up but the cold temperatures tonight will help firm things up.

Skating will be hard today, because of the soft snow. Classic is the way to go. Ian said he would be putting a track in on the Woodcock/Snow Goose, but expects wind to blow snow into the tracks in places. (Isn’t it nice to have snow to blow around?)

10 km open today, Turkey, Grouse, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine.

The snow makes everything more beautiful. The photos above are all from this morning. The light on the 3rd photo is moonlight. It may be hard to get out at 5:30 am, but I am never disappointed.
