A great family ski. 2/21/2019

Open, 26° at 7am. Expected high 31° cloudy this morning becoming sunny  this afternoon. All trails open, except Loon. 22 km classic 6 km skate.

Heather and kids skied the Peregrine, Middle and Upper Blue Jay yesterday. They left around 1pm. The snow was soft, the sun had been out and the temperature was about 35º.  Slow skiing. Ian said take longer skis, because of the slow skiing. Well, the sun went behind the clouds. The wind shifted, the snow firmed up and the skiing got fast earlier than we thought it would. Lesson learned. When the temperature goes up and down, the skiing changes. This is typical spring skiing. Fast in the morning, then slow, back to fast and then to faster.

Heather and the kids did great, they made it safe and sound. But…we all need to remember, up and down temperatures affect the skiing! If in doubt, please ask us.

The low trails are ground up and a little quick, but very fun if you like to glide. The longer, upper trails, are much faster and firmer and chunkier: if in doubt, ask one of us.

AND, the new groomer gets here today! This is quite exciting. Could be quite a crowd for the unloading. If you want to watch it get put together, you may want to bring your lawn chair. And I heard on the q.t. there is a little contest going on for naming rights.
