Open, 7º at 6:30 am. High today, 20º, sunny this am and partly sunny this afternoon. A great winter day. Good hard pack skiing. All trails open, 25 km classic and 6 km skate.

The photo above is from yesterday, mid-morning. Ian out looking for first tracks.

The skiing is fast and yet not fast. There is some granular snow and some powder all mixed together.

I skied this morning, already, and it was quite lovely. It is hard pack, skating will be good. The tracks are in, your skis will stay in the tracks. If you are in doubt about where you want to ski come in and ask us.

And when Ian was grooming last night about 7:30 pm he saw an animal on the Woodcock that he described as, “a big black weaselish animal –  kind of clumsy looking.” We are all thinking fisher cat/porcupine. Anybody skiing woodcock watch for the tracks and let me know what you think.
