Trails are open for skiing. An incredible morning of skiing before big time warm up, high near 50, with a lot of melting. Great to see so many skiers out this morning.
We will have the trails open in the morning but use extreme caution. Lot of thin areas opening up. Recommended to ski on Sukkerbusk or Skaters Waltz 4km loop for skating. Grooming this morning on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Twin Lakes and Roy’s Run for classic. Skaters Waltz 4km loop groomed and open for skating. Trails will be closed most likely on Friday.
It’s been a great five days of skiing after snow last Friday which was very dense with good moisture. Packed and groomed out very nice and tracks setting up solid. Conditions don’t get much better, specially for mid March! Tuesday felt more like a January day with blustery conditions and snow falling in the afternoon. A great day of skiing nonetheless and awesome to see people out the whole day from early morning until sunset….just like the past five days….Just Ski!
59″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.
