Open on Monday morning.

It is 21º at 6:30 pm. Getting cold overnight.

We shoveled the snow onto the trails where it was needed. We packed in the “new” snow with the “powder maker”. Ian went around and around with the Ginzu. And………

We have the green trails open. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, and the Grouse. About 7 km, and 7 km more than we thought we might get. Is it perfect? Absolutely not! Is it skiing and better than nothing, you bet.

What to expect, some good skiing, some ok skiing, places where it isn’t so good. No tracks. What seems to make the difference between a good ski day and a bad ski day is the attitude you get out of your car with. So, if you really want to ski, we are here for you.

And it makes for a really good base for when we do get an inch or two or snow. So do your snow dances!

Closed. It is 17º at 7:30 this morning. We had a dusting of snow overnight. Just barely a dusting.

It rained yesterday, but it could have been worse. The wind blew, but it could have been worse. The temperature stayed under 40º most of the day, then went briefly up to 48º. The snow left on the ground has turned into a great base.

The photo above is from this morning, the downhill on the Peregrine.

Ian is out on a machine. Just checking to see what work needs to be done.

I will let you know as soon as we know.

Open at 9 am. 19º this morning at 6 am. The forecast high today is 36º.

You may need Maxiglide on no wax skis. (ask if you don’t know about Maxiglide.)

17 km open total. Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine, all with a skate lane and a classic track. Chickadee is a narrower ski with a classic track.

The ski race is this afternoon, Kids, coaches and buses start arriving around noon. Official race start time is 2 pm. The race course is a combo of Turkey, Grouse and Peregrine.

And now about the weather……………Here goes. The forecast, or an educated guess, here goes.

Snow showers this afternoon while the temperature is 36º.

Thursday, 45º during the day and sun, we will be open.

Friday, rain will have started Thursday night at 34º, rain continuing into Friday with the temperature going up to 52º by 6am Friday. Not great. The temperature will start to drop in the afternoon, down to 17º Friday night and at some point is supposed to switch to snow. (side note, snow on the back end of rain does not usually amount to much snow, at least here.) And on top of all of that we have high wind warnings.

So…….today and tomorrow are good to ski. Ski early today or cheer the racers on as you ski by. Friday closed. Saturday we pick up sticks and figure out what is next.
