Open, 1º and sunny. forecast 17º and sunny. 4 inches of new snow yesterday! Perfect weather, perfect skiing! The skiing is absolutely perfect in every way.

Why would you go to work today? Or at least just ski before you go to work. Or ski on your lunch break. Or leave early and ski later this afternoon. Just put your skis in the car. Grab your 20º ski clothes and get here!!! A decision you will be so happy about.

AND a moonlight/night ski tonight, February 19th, Tuesday. We will sell tickets until 8pm. Half day ticket price $17. It will be great. This is the snow moon, let’s enjoy it!

A quote from Martha from yesterday,

Hi Tracy,

Thanks you guys–these past 3 days at Wild Wings have been magical, and oh so good for body, heart, and mind.

“Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you.” This quote is one of Emily’s lines from the play Our Town, by Thorton Wilder

And now the skiing is even better!

Early morning grooming. 2/17/2019

Open, 17º and snowing. One inch of snow. The forecast high 25º with another couple of flakes of snow during the day. The skiing is great! All trails open, (except Loon) 22 km of classic skiing and 6 km of skate.

The skiing is wonderful. Between the snow and Ian’s grooming, the skiing is great. And now another inch of snow on top, does not get much better.

Woodcock and Snow Goose are a great really nice scenic 2.5 mile loop. Make sure to watch for otter tracks.

The Chickadee is longer and the uphills at the beginning can seem intimidating, stop and rest and keep going, it is worth it. The other day Ian came in and said when he re-groomed the Chickadee, no one had walked down any of the hills. What! Don’t walk down the hills. Practice, learn to ski the downhills, and if you still can’t do it, turn and side step down. And if you enjoyed Waite’s Place Loop, turn and ski it twice.

Skied the Chickadee again yesterday. 2/17/2019

Please note, new snow, and falling snow make the woods quiet. While you are out skiing notice the silence. Listen to the brook, and the sound of your skis. Stop and smell the roses.

Really good skiing 2/16/2019

Open, really, really good skiing! Maybe the best all year, according to yesterday’s skiers and today is better. I typed bestter, but spell check caught it. I laughed and corrected, but it might be the truth.

6º at 7am and sunny! Expected high 24º and sunny. Clouding up late in the day and snow overnight.

Rob skiing on the Chickadee, right before it joins the Upper Blue Jay. 

22 km classic skiing and 6 km skate skiing. All trails, except Loon,  open and wonderful. And Ian spent last night and again this morning grooming.

A day for fun! 2/16/2019

There are lots of people around this weekend. A few things to remember about us. Our phone line is 40 years old, so the credit card machine is slow. So, cash is faster. Our parking lot/base area may seem crowded, but the one way trails keep the number of people/skiers you see to a minimum. You may feel all alone out there. And we are here to help you have a good time. Ask if you have a question. And to improve your skiing sign up for the 11am or the 1pm lessons.

Oh, what a day! 2/15/2019

Open, 22º at 7am. Partly cloudy, becoming sunny, with an expected high of 27º.  And the skiing is good. I already skied this morning, and it is really good!

All trails open, except Loon. 22 km classic and 6 km skate. Ian said the winners of the outstanding trail award for today are Waite’s Place Loop and Middle and Upper Blue Jay. All trails are great and if easier trails are your thing ski the Woodcock/Snow Goose and look for the otter tracks.

The otter went through yesterday morning. Most years we see the tracks only one day and it is obvious the otter is just moving down the water shed. But maybe it has hung around and given you new tracks for one more day. Look on Woodcock by the beaver pond, and down along the brook on the Snow Goose. When you are on the Snow Goose extension watch for them to head out into the big beaver pond. The otters are simply looking for food, a full time, hard winter job for our wild life friends. The photo below is the track of the otter going across the trail. There is a video of the trail, so you can see more, (no actual otter siting) of the track on our Instagram account, wildwingsski.

Otter tracks. Belly slide, bounding feet! 2/15/2019
