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.
