Different state and they just keep skiing. 3/28/2019

Closed/Open for season pass holders, 27º, sunny. Two inches of snow overnight. The snow underneath is hard. Tuesday the temperatures will warm up and the skiing will be spring skiing. Variable conditions.

And, everything is covered in snow again. It is beautiful. If you have a season pass and you ski today, you will need Maxiglide. All trails will be ok. The first 10 feet or so on Chickadee has melted out. Remember it is April 1st, conditions are changing as you ski.

And if you can’t get out in the woods today, here is a video, best viewed in full screen mode.

What a year it was. Lots of really great skiing. 3/12/2019

Open for season pass holders, 46º, sunny, right this minute. Rain later this morning as a cold front moves thru. Cold this afternoon. Freezing tonight. The skiing Monday will be really fast and hard. Tuesday, the temperature will warm up and the skiing will be good, corn spring skiing. Variable conditions.

One of the perks of buying a season pass. Skiing early and late season.

We are working out and about. Cleaning up and moving stuff back where is belongs. And the branches and limbs are starting to poke out, at some point all the limbs and branches and sticks will pile into a really great bon fire. S’more season here we come.

Still a lot of snow left up in the hills. 3/28/2019

Closed, 35º and cloudy. We are expecting rain today and a high of 45º. Rain forecast today, Saturday and Sunday, and we are closed. We will see what is left next week and we’ll let you know.

The photo is from Thursday, the 28th, there is still some snow left in the woods.  The road has been ok, and the rain actually helps the road by “drawing out the frost.”

We are gathering sap today and boiling. After yesterday we had 14 gallons of syrup. After today we should be around 20 gallons of syrup.

Our friend Larry, 3/24/2019.

Open, 23º and sunny. Expected high today 49º and clouding up. Skiing today is typical spring skiing. Hard and fast in the morning, as the sun hits the snow and the temperatures rise, the snow softens and slows down. With spring skiing you should expect variable conditions. Faster in the shade and slower in the sun. 25 km open 25 km classic and 6 km skate.

We will be open today. Closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday for everyone. The night time temperatures are going to stay above freezing and so the road will be worse. We will reassess next week. We are hoping to be open up for season pass holders.

We are going to boil sap today, swing on up by the sugar house and check it out. Gathering sap late this afternoon.

Empty those buckets!
