Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6:30 am is 16º, and that is the high for the day, dropping to 0º by the end of the day.
All trails are open and the skiing is pretty darn nice. New fluffy, sparkly snow on top of a really good track and a very nice skate lane. All trails open. Great day for Middle and Upper Blue Jay.
Did you know we are in the new issue of Stratton Magazine? If you get your hands on the print magazine, we are on page 62. If you want to look online click here. It is always fun to talk to people about what we do, how we got here, and maybe where we are headed. Benjamin Lerner came over to talk to us in December. Happened to be the day of the High School race, he was very patient, and he did a great job conveying our mission here. Our friend and photographer Maaike from Maaike Photography let the magazine use some of her photos from last year’s Skida photo shoot featuring the heart strings hat. Side note, a few more heart hats are still in the shop if you want one get here quick. Look for Maisie and her snow heart. Ian and Gretchen skiing. And a line up of the whole family.
A little of the then and now. Chuck and his dad, Angus in 1976, posing for their new brochure. And on Friday, Ian and his son, Asa, struggling to learn to maneuver. It is all a practice. (Look how long those skis are!)
And 3 names added to the Ski All The Trails In A Day board.
Here is a photo of Mary and Fern at the end of their 25 km. I missed Leila. I will post a photo of the board after tomorrow. I heard a little mumbling that there are a few folks thinking Saturday might be the day to get in the every trail and add their name to the board.

What a lovely story on the history and family behind Wild Wings. I knew Wild Wings was a special place, and now I know why. Thanks for creating a little slice of heaven on earth and then preserving it.
