A postcard picture weekend on the trails. Winter wonderland conditions. Fresh snow on Friday groomed in on all the trails Saturday morning. Slightly cooler temps making for nice glide and easier waxing. Light snow again Sunday morning with grooming on most of the trail system which was covered by snow again Sunday evening after 5-6″ of fresh fluffy snow as of 9pm. We will be grooming the new snow Monday and plan on grooming all week to have nice skiing for the Midweek skiers into Presidents weekend. Excellent skiing conditions on a compacted base of 7-12″ and snow depth 18-30″ after 10″ of fresh snow the past week and more snow forecasted tonight and Monday. Awesome!

1-2″ of fresh snow the past 24 hours. Light winds and 31 degrees for high on Friday. Excellent skiing conditions. Compacted base on the trail is 6-11″ and snow depth in the woods is 15-26″. We groomed the entire trail system today except for Roy’s Run which has been recently groomed with fresh snow on top but skier packed. The woods are still flocked with some of the snow from the storm a few weeks ago. Chance of more snow tonight and on through Monday. We plan on grooming the entire trail system Saturday morning if more than 1″ of new snow. Conditions couldn’t be much better and skiing is fantastic. All the trails are tracked for classic  except for  Skaters Waltz and Skaters Extension which are  groomed for skating. There are still a few low hanging branches and face slappers here and there but we are trying to clear the trails the best we can and overall the skiing is ideal, albeit a bit soft with the fresh snow, warmer temps and high humidity.

Excellent skiing conditions. Compacted base on the trail is 6-10″ and snow depth in the woods is 15-25″. Grooming today on JibFly, Mother Hen, Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Rootin Tootin and Mother North Star setting new tracks. The woods are still flocked with some of the snow from the storm a few weeks ago. We picked up and inch or two this week of fresh snow and more snow forecasted tonight, tomorrow and over the weekend. Conditions couldn’t be much better and skiing is fantastic. We will be grooming the next two mornings for sure. All the trails are groomed and tracked including Island Lake and the bootleg extension of Bullhead which we clipped and cleared the first part of the week. There are still a few low hanging branches and face slappers here and there but we are trying to clear the trails the best we can. Skaters Waltz and Skaters Extension groomed and open for skating.
