Open, 24º, and cloudy. Expected high today 33º. Skiing today is fair to good, hard pack skiing, getting a little fast with thin spots. Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Peregrine and Chickadee are open. 16 km, classic and 6 km skate.

Finally some snow in the forecast. The storm is forecast for Friday night and Saturday, and a winter storm watch has been issued for that time. There has also been some talk of mixing and changing to rain. As of this writing the forecast is for 3-5 on Friday night. 5-8 during the day on Saturday. Grooming will be a tough call and we will do what we think is best for the situation that unfolds.

We are so, so happy to be talking about snow! But this storm is bringing in some warm weather, so there are no guarantees. But we will be thrilled with a net gain! It would/will be nice to have a little cushion.
