All trails are open. Ian re-groomed the Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Goshawk, Peregrine and Chickadee. Tove skied Middle and Upper Blue Jay late yesterday. The 2 Blue Jay trails stay in the shade, and have stayed mostly powdery. Loon is decent, a little quick.

All trails open, all trails re-groomed last night , except Loon, Middle and Upper Blue Jay. The tracks will probably glaze where it’s sunny, then it will get fast as it cools off in the afternoon. The skiing will be better in the morning.
This is what the skiing looks like today;
Lovely tracks and a great skate lane.

Skiing really doesn’t get any better than this. If you’re waiting for the perfect day, this is it! Between Ian and Jonathan all trails were groomed and regroomed yesterday or last night. Skiing this morning;
We also have an instructor available today for a 1:00 lesson. Give me a call if you or your group would like to fill the spot!
If you have been thinking Ian pretty much lives in or on a grooming machine, you are right. Audrey brought him dinner in the snow cat last night for a snow cat date. And she got a few photos. Thanks Audrey!
We are still working on a board of fame for all the 25ers. Skiing all trails in one day. If you do it, get me some photos and we will start posting on “the board”. It has been suggested we have a two-fer spot on the board, for doing every trail on two consecutive days.
And a photo of yesterday, snow, skiing, and a fun!!! Thanks for the photo Hillary
Open, 26º and snowing. Eight inches overnight. The snow forecast for today is 3-5, with an expected high of 30º.
All trails are open. Grooming is a work in progress today. The easier trails will get groomed first. You may get to a trail before a groomer. Ask when you get here for details. If you own Maxi Glide bring it along. You may need it.
The skiing today will be slow and soft and quiet. By tomorrow, after being groomed today and sitting overnight, we will have a firm skate lane and a solid track.
Carry a knapsack. If you overdress you can carry your extra clothes.
When Nordic skiing we all warm up quite a bit. So that makes it a great sport for cold weather (No chairlift). Sweating does happen. A dry shirt to wear for your second lap and/or to wear home is really nice.
