Trails are open! Awesome April day of skiing! Great seeing everyone out today. Beautiful sunny weather, felt a bit more like January with mid teens for temps and a breeze from the north! Froze down hard overnight which allowed us to groom this morning. Skate loop renovated and combed. Tracks renovated and reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. Also fresh track set on Twin Lakes and JibFly which groomed out really nice. Grooming pulling up drier/sugary snow after the melty day yesterday. Below freezing all day which made for all day good skiing. . With so much snow at once, the tracks are a bit spongy but for early April….doesn’t get much better..

Tuesday should be nice April skiing in the morning before getting soft and maybe sticky early afternoon. Just Ski.

Great seeing everyone out to enjoy the special bonus late season skiing! We will have the trails open until at least Wednesday noon. Depending on the weather will determine if we can be open Thursday and beyond. We will classic groom probably one more time but try to have the skate loop groomed into later week.

Trails are open! A great Easter morning of skiing. Awesome seeing so many people out…thank you! Sap Run and Sukkerbusk groomed with a track set. A 3km loop of Skaters Waltz groomed for skating, also open for no track skiing. A full day of packing and grooming Saturday compressing the heavy wet snow that dried out nicely late afternoon.

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. Next grooming planned Monday morning. Depending on the conditions, we will also try to track out the easy loop of JibFly and Twin Lakes.

Winter Returns! Nearly a foot of heavy dense snow as of 6pm Saturday. 3-4″ of snow Thursday evening. Very tricky snow to pack and groom but able to set track on Sukkerbusk and Sap Run. Also packed, groomed and combed a 3km loop of Skaters Waltz. End of the day everything turned out nice and was really nice skiing late afternoon. Pretty incredible for April. Should be great skiing early Sunday morning before it warms up. Best to get out before noon, earlier the better! Just Ski.

Nice to see a few folks out enjoying the late season skiing and grooming Friday morning! A 4km loop (no track set) consisting of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk, using Sap Run as a connector groomed also Sap Run and JibFly for classic skiing. Not quite enough snow to set a good track with no base underneath. It is important to have the skis waxed properly for the best skiing experience, especially if above 32 degrees. Enjoy the late season snow and Just Ski! 

The mornings it has froze down this past week allowed us to get on trail and cut firewood for next season!
