Open at 9 am, current temperature 18º. Forecast high 28º and partly sunny. Skiing is good. 16.5 km open. Lovely soft layer of snow on the groomed trails. Good tracks and a great skate lane. Chickadee is a classic only ski, but has no machine made track in.

Jamie’s quote about their ski on Chickadee, “The snow on Waite’s Loop was velvety and the sun warm.” Hilary said the Chickadee was way better than “just ok”. Quiet and serene were two words bantered about.

Conditions are also good for watching for animal tracks. Watch for the squirrel hole on Snow Goose, the little guy has a whole pile of cast off pine nut casings. They work hard for that little bit of food. Fresh snow and warmer temperatures will have animals moving around and leaving their tracks for us to see.
