25 km classic and 7 km skate.

Covid protocols. We are learning and tweaking. Please be patient.

Fill out your Covid tracing form online. Or at Wild Wings if you need to. We need to know who is here everyday. If you have a season pass, and you have filled out 1 form, then sign your name on the clipboard for the day.

See here for the Vermont State Covid Protocol rules.

PS. The National Weather Service is sending a Meteorologist to Wild Wings, Peru, Vermont to investigate our snow total. If he agrees with the measurement of snow. Peru, Vermont will hold the record, storm snow fall total for the State of Vermont. Holy smokes.

Open, 5º at 6:30am and clear sky. 44.8 inches of new snow. The snow settled overnight down to 31 inches.

Open today; Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey and Grouse. The snow on these trails firmed up a bit overnight. Maybe Peregrine, Ian has been trying but getting stuck a lot. The tracks are going in nicely. But it is a better day for classic skiing. The trails are still soft.

That was quite a storm. The average snowfall rate was 3 inches an hour for about 12 hours. It is the biggest one event snowfall in all the records we’ve been keeping. And the water content was low. This is light fluffy , sparkly snow.

Ian is formulating a plan to get a machine around the upper trails. I will let you know as soon as he can get that started.

There is a wet spot on Snow Goose. I know weird huh! We have had cold weather and the ground was frozen before the snow. The snow insulates the ground and it warms up the earth, and it gets wet under the snow. Just a little bit of useless knowledge.

So, get outside. Go skiing. Stay safe. Mask up around the base area and where you can’t maintain distance from others. And make sure to sign a contact tracing form. Either online or on paper here.

A shot of Ian in the groomer from yesterday around noon.

And the Covid Shed is done, fastest shed ever, and longest 8 days ever.

One more place for you to get out of the weather, safely. Still cold, but out of the wet snow and cold wind. We will also sell tickets out of the shed. And we will have Covid contact tracing forms, the paper forms. In case you didn’t fill out your form online here.

Vermont Covid Travel Rules: We have no say in who can come to Vermont and who can’t. Please see the guidelines from the State of Vermont to know what the rules are.  

Now, the weather. The forecast is for snow. We are in the 10-18 inch range. This snow will be light and fluffy, and is not the best base building snow. But snow is snow and we will happily take every flake.

Ian will be packing on Thursday, with high hopes to be open on Friday. I will post here again tomorrow with the updates.

You now also have the option to buy you passes online before you even get here. Come up to the shop and we will then just hand you a map and a paper ticket.

See you soon!!!!!
