Still working and planing to have some skiing on Sunday

ra-5a4bd91746f71523

Closed today, Saturday. At 6:45 am the temperature is 11º. Forecast high 31º and mostly sunny.

We are planning to be open Sunday morning.

We just had 48 hours, at least, of temperatures as high as 50º and some rain. We have lost a lot of snow. Ian and Dan have been working like crazy to try to get snow back on the trails to cover ice and bare spots. Ian drove around last night in the snow cat. He has more work to do today. And he is 95% sure he can have some skiing for tomorrow.

Ready for Big Red

The terrain will be limited, probably Turkey, Grouse, Woodcock and Snowgoose. In places the skiing will be ok. Some places will be thin. Some places will be hard, most places will be loose frozen granular. The snow in places will be dirty. Most places the skiing will be fast until it warms up. Don’t plan on using your good skis, and plan on a “this is better than nothing attitude”.

This photo is from this morning and is back down the Woodcock by the bridge. There are many places in the woods with great coverage. Other spots, not so much. And, of course, the spots with bad coverage tend to be places without snow beside the trail, so we need to move it; by shovel, sled, or snowcat.
