Open, 24º at 6am. 3 inches of snow this morning. Snow in the forecast again today with the forecast high 27º. 25 km open, all trails. 25 km classic and 6 km skate. Upper trails groomed today, lower trails a little powdery, icing on the cake.

The skiing yesterday was described as magical. Dick had said pristine the day before. Let me know about your ski, you may get the word of the day.

Tim M. arrived yesterday ready to ski. Not looking overly excited about “going up above”. I suggested he ski the Chickadee/Loon, told him he would not be disappointed. He skied down saying his only regret was he had to go home to take some work calls. And he promised himself to get back today early. He told me he was going to do laps on Chickadee until his legs screamed stop. Laps have been happening. The skiing is so good. And we all know that isn’t always the case. So, ski while it’s magical, pristine, magnificent.

The love of skiing. What it’s all about. Loving the skis, the snow, the outdoors. Sophie, above on the right. Graham on the left. Just getting done with a lap on the Turkey. The kids in this area are fortunate to have such a great role model. For a kid to get to ski a lap with a world cup skier, who never stops smiling. Pretty magical right there.
