Up the Grouse. 3/5/2019Open, 0º and sunny at 7am. Forecast high 15º and sunny, clouding up late in the day. There is very little wind in the woods and the skiing is absolutely fantastic! The sun will warm you right up this morning! Wonderful mid-winter conditions. The low trails all groomed with the PistenBully and the Chickadee, Middle and Upper Blue Jay groomed this morning with Ian on the snow machine. What a great day for a ski. Remember your sun glasses and your sun screen.
The picture above is Ian working in the PistenBully on the Grouse, coming down backwards, pass number one. Pass number two will be on the other side and will put the track back in. This machine makes a really great track, and a solid skate lane. Also note the snow being pushed by the plow in front of the machine. Leveling out the trail, filling in the low spots. The machine is great. But learning to be a great machine operator. Priceless.
The skiing today really is one of the best days of the year. (Tomorrow will be too.) Get your warm clothes and gear together and get out and enjoy this beautiful day! This sign is from a few years ago. The base today, 3/6/2019, is really about 2 feet.

I’m good with this being mid winter. Here’s to skiing all of March and April!
