Open, 2º at 6:30 am, and clear skies. Clear and cold today, at least colder than we are used to this year. Forecast high today 9º.

We had 2.6 inches of new snow this morning, and 3.9 inches of new snow Thursday morning. For a storm total (36 hours) of 6.5 inches of snow. The first snow was wet, Ian packed it out and then the temperatures started to fall and the snow started drying out. So, the blowing snow blew into the packed out trail, drifting and adding to the snow depth in the trails. I love it when it all works out the way we want it to.

Skiing will be good, some thin areas. Woodcock, Turkey, Snow Goose, Grouse and Peregrine will be open today. 10 km of skiing with a track in anywhere Ian can get it to go in.

The temperatures will be colder today than we are used to. That just means get those warm clothes out and wear them. Remember you make your own heat while you ski.
