Feels more like January 1st than March 1st today after dropping below 0 degrees this afternoon from a early morning high of 23. Strong nw wind as well making it feel even more awesome! Very light dusting of snow from the frontal passage.  Weather did not stop fresh grooming on Mother North Star, Sap Run and Skaters Waltz and skiers hitting the trail. Other trails are holding out well and in great shape. Little bit of organic matter from today’s wind but fantastic skiing on the trails and personally some of the best skiing of the year. The start area of Lotvola Cup groomed this morning as well with test tracks set. Final grooming will take place Saturday evening, most likely.

Compacted base 8-10″. Snow depth in woods 1-2 feet. 100% open on 64km. 57 km tracked for classic, 13km groomed for skating.   Skaters Waltz/ extension, Suicide Hill and North Loup groomed for skating.  There is also a track set on North Loup for classic.

Total snowfall  this season has been 75″.  The trails are open for day skiing and the current fee is $15 to use the trails for the day.

A great weekend on the trails. Tracks and skate lanes holding out nicely from Thursday and Friday grooming. Bit cooler temps making for easier waxing and more mid winterlike conditions. Tracks hard underneath from melting a few weeks ago but helping set up deep and solid tracks. Will will be grooming as needed during the week and touching up the course for the Lotvola Cup to have the best conditions possible.  There is plenty of snow so we are expecting a great surface condition for the race.

Great skiing on the trails. A return of cold temps as the temp had a hard time getting above 0 today than falling during the afternoon. Light dusting of snow in the afternoon. The entire trail system groomed the past three days with all skate trails being groomed Friday morning and new tracks on Lucky’s Loype, Roy’s Run, Rootin Tootin, Single and Double green, Twin Lakes and Wavy Gravy. Great weekend to classic ski with the cooler temps.  6″ of fresh snowfall this week, falling on Monday and Wednesday. Touch up grooming this weekend as needed.
