Winter wonderland conditions in the woods right now. Two inches of fresh snow Friday night/early Saturday morning. The trees are flocked beautifully with snow. The trails are taking great shape and pretty much in mid winter conditions! Very good to excellent early season. 60 of 64km packed/tracked/combed. 3-6″ compacted base. 30km tracked classic only, 15km groomed skate only, 15km packed (open for technique of choice).
The entire trail system has been packed/tracked or combed (including the two soccer fields and back bowl)except for the east side (4km) of Bullhead lake trail. The east side is closed until colder weather, which will freeze the thin ice areas. Lucky’s Loype, JibFly and Rootin Tootin fresh tracked this morning. Roy’s Run was pack-tracked (packed with track set right at same time) today and 75% is in good condition with soft track and other 25% is rough. We could not groom the entire loop because of water issues but still have a full complete loop using bootleg trail and forest access roads. We will reset tracks in the morning on select trails if an inch or more new snow and skate lanes will be cleaned on Skaters Waltz. Trail fee is $10 for this weekend A great start to the season with almost 19″ of snow this season, so far.
Winter wonderland conditions in the woods right now. The trees are flocked beautifully with snow. The trails are taking great shape and pretty much in mid winter conditions! 52 of 64km of the trail system has been packed and tracks set on 5km of trail. We will be setting tracks on about 15km of trail today. The compacted base is 3-5″. A great start to the season with almost 17″ of snow this season, so far.
Another inch or two the past 24 hours leaving 5-7″ of total accumulation from the storm this week. The last few inches light and fluffy but all good when it is white stuff coming down!! We have been packing on the entire trail system this week except for Roy’s Run and Bullhead lake trails. We will set tracks on Thursday on select trails for classic skiing. The trails are open for skiing and in very good condition for early season. Almost looks like mid winter! Great start to the season.
