A fantastic two days for the Section 8 Nordic Ski Championships. Incredible weather and racing. Thanks for all those that helped make it a great two days and to all the skiers competing hard. Photos and results posted on Skinnyski.com
Trails are open. Tracks and the deck are a bit hardpacked with some icy spots after freezing down from yesterday’s warm weather. Trails groomed/renovated/conditioned today providing some nice skiing. We will be grooming the next few days to have the best conditions possible for the weekend. Looks like a early taste of spring skiing coming up which means tracks and deck will be fast and icy like in the morning than softening in the afternoon with sun and temps in the mid 30’s. These conditions can be some of the best of the year if timed properly. Always use a little extra caution on the hills!

A few areas with scattered organic forest matter otherwise very nice skiing conditions.
Lot of animals on the move and tons of tracks everywhere, especially on the inner trails. Eagles, grouse, porcupines, fox and pileated woodpeckers some of the wildlife sighted….keep your eyes open!
