Crisp and cool on Tuesday. Wind from the west making it feel even cooler but folks still getting out on the trails enjoying the beautiful conditions. The tracks are solid and firm and holding up great from the weekend grooming. Few areas of drifting in the open. Great time of the year to be in the woods with days getting longer and intense sunny days like today.  Grooming planned for Thursday evening.

Total snowfall  this season has been 69″.  The trails are open for day skiing and the current fee is $15 to use the trails for the day. Article in DL paper about Maplelag and the trails.

Wonderful weekend of skiing. Probably the warmest weekend this season with temps in the 25-32 range. Snow a little softer and slower on Saturday but all in all fantastic skiing. Lot of skiers putting in big kilometers over the weekend. Colder temps moving in Sunday afternoon with a dusting of snow.  Great time of the year to be in the woods with days getting longer and generally mild temps. Grooming this week as needed.
