Trails are open! Beautiful sunny day, feels a bit more like January with mid teens for temps and a breeze from the north. Freezing down hard overnight which allowed us to groom this morning. Skate loop renovated and combed and tracks renovated and reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. A bit chunky but still decent skiing. Also fresh track set on Twin Lakes and JibFly which groomed out really nice. With a melty day Sunday and a refreeze, tracks are a bit faster but grooming pulling up drier/sugary snow. Looks to be below freezing all day today which should make all day good skiing. Watch for sticky areas in the afternoon if sun stays out.
A great Easter morning of skiing. Awesome seeing so many people out…thank you! A full day of packing and grooming Saturday compressing the heavy wet snow that dried out nicely late afternoon. Sunday was above freezing most of the afternoon so grooming put on hold.
We will plan to have the trails open until Wednesday but if it looks to be skiable beyond that we will remain open. Considering the time of year, best to get out as early as possible during the day for best conditions. Monday should be good most of the day unless sun comes out in the afternoon. Not sure how things will groom out moving forward but always enjoy the opportunity and challenge to make conditions as best as possible! Just Ski.
72″ of snow this season from November 15th-April 4th. We began grooming on November 17th and groomed daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days on the last grooming March 19th.
