Open at 9 am and ready to go. A high on Thursday near 18º and less wind. Skiing is good, nice firm tracks and skate lanes. But the wind blew hard for the last 24 hours, and the snow is littered with tree debris. Ian is out with a machine picking up branches. Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Turkey, Goshawk, and Peregrine all open. And……………

We’d like to announce the shoveling team has done it! The Chickadee is open. Total km now open, 16.5. Most of Chickidee is A-OK. But there are a few thin spots, and the snow is not deep enough to set tracks. If you spot a member of the Shoveling Dream Team, tell them thanks!

Here are a couple more shots showing the results of the shoveling on The Chickadee.
