Closed. We did get 3 inches of snow. And there is still base on the trails. BUT, this all needs to dry out and get cold. The temperature right now is 31º, and the temperature will hover around freezing all day.

Hopefully, we will be able to groom and ski by tomorrow. I’ll let you know as soon as we know.

Closed today. Early this morning it is dreary, wet morning. The snow that is still on the ground is really wet and soft. Staying off the trails right now is the only way to possibly save some base. We need cold temperatures and a couple inches (at least) of new snow.

In the mean time 3, out of about 80, photos from the Northern Lights October 6th and 8th. The first photo is 8 pm. The other two were the middle of the night.

Open at 9 am. The current temperature is 31º, and cloudy. The forecast today is for rain later in the day.

The skiing is ok. The snow will be more firm in the morning, and will soften quickly. The best skiing today, is the moment between firm and soft.

These two photos are on the Peregrine, yesterday, December 28th.

From looking at the weather forecast, we may be closed, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. There is snow in the forecast for Wednesday night. Which could get us skiing again on Thursday. We will let you know asap.

One of my favorite Mary Oliver poems.

How I Go Into the Woods

by Mary Oliver

Ordinarily I go to the woods alone,
with not a single friend,
for they are all smilers and talkers
and therefore unsuitable.
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree.
I have my ways of praying,
as you no doubt have yours.
Besides, when I am alone
I can become invisible.
I can sit on the top of a dune
as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned.
I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.
If you have ever gone to the woods with me,
I must love you very much.

Open at 9 am. Current temperature is 30º. The forecast high is 40º. The skiing will start out quick and slow down as the temperature rises.

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

FYI, the forecast for the next few days isn’t great.
