Trail Report

Trails in great shape and skiing this morning like mid February. Trails groomed Wednesday evening and holding out great. Bit warmer temps today will probably soften the snow but we plan on grooming select trails early Saturday morning for the weekend skiers with Moosejaw dance and old tyme music weekend. With cooler temps predicted on the weekend, should be a fantastic weekend for skiing, dancing and music!
