Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6 am is 15º. The forecast high is 28º. The snow forecast is from 1 to 5 inches. Snow globe skiing!

We do have one inch of new snow on the ground this morning. The one inch is powdery, sparkly, light fresh, beautiful snow. Such a sight for sore eyes after our little January thaw. We made it though the thaw with a good base intact. With the snow cat, a lot of horse power, the we tilled the snow up nicely, and now has the fabulous snow on top! What a great day.

The skate lane is firm, and the track is in on all the low trails. Chickadee is open and was groomed yesterday, thanks to Ian and Dick.

All I have to say after that is, this is a really good day for a wonderful ski. Getting here early will help avoid the crowd.

And a couple photos from yesterday;

Open at 9 am. 6º at 6 am. A dusting of snow overnight. And the wind is blowing. Winter is back!

Thanks to the machine above, (last year photo) we have a good loose granular skiing surface. With the dusting of snow falling and blowing around. Low trails all groomed this morning. Track and skate lane.

The skiing is quick, but the snow has ground up nicely. It is sugary snow. Quick, but it is easy to snow plow and stop.

Winter is back! Mittens, hood, neck gaiter, no cotton, you know the drill, and you have the clothes,

The brook will be putting on a show again. Some new ice to check out.

Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6 am is 31º. The forecast today is for snow showers to continue off and on most of the day.

With the temperature around 31º, 32º you will need to use Maxi Glide on no wax skis.

10 km open. All the low trails. Skiing down low will be good. Not grooming today the snow is too wet.

Keep your eyes open for animal tracks. In the last couple of days I have seen fresh bobcat tracks, coyote tracks, an otter slide and tracks, rabbit tracks. We have new snow which make fresh tracks easy to spot. The photo below is an otter slide with the otter tracks.

We need more snow to get the longer trails open. It will happen we just need patience. Two years ago at this point, we were just opening for the season!
