Open. The temperature at 7:00 a.m. is 21º. The forecast today, sunny with a high of 37º. The skiing is pretty darn good.

Great base with 1 inch of new snow again yesterday afternoon.

The skiing will be really good again today. Yesterday I was accused of underselling the skiing, I think I said the skiing was fine. Fine is one of those words whose meaning changes with the intonation of your voice and the intention with which the word is said. The skiing today, January 2, 2020 is fine, like a good bottle of wine fine. Not the sarcastic fine of “oh, fine”.

Because the temperature is going to go up today, if you want powdery snow you need to be out here early this morning. (And the trees are still snow covered and beautiful.) The skiing will be great all day  and as the temperature goes to around freezing, you will need the lighter weight clothing and   Maxiglide. Remember Maxiglide is to keep new snow from sticking to your skis. This happens with new snow and a temperature hovering around 32º. As some people learned yesterday, “Stickage stinks.”

Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse and Peregrine are open. It is about 10 km. There is a classic track in for about 10 km and skating on 6 km.
