Most of the snow from Friday has melted off after rain, sun and warm temps on Sunday. Still able to sneak in one more ski Sunday morning before it went. A few patches here and there in the woods but should be gone by later today. It was a nice Halloween treat to have skiing the end of October. We will work on the trails when we can this week once it dries up a bit. We have enjoyed some beautiful sunrises and sunsets with the low angle of the sun and always nice to see the sun during these shorter days of November.

A gorgeous day on the trails after yesterday’s snow storm dropped around 6″ of snow on the Maplelag trails. Trees flocked beautiful this morning with white and sun peeking out middle of the afternoon highlighting the conditions. Skiing this morning was typical of October snow with slushy and sticky conditions underneath but still a treat on Halloween day. Around 3km of trail was packed in the afternoon and should be good skiing for the evening and tomorrow morning before warmer temps move in and most likely melt most of the snow. More leaves coming down before the snow but still oak leaves hanging on that would be good to come down before the snow flies for real.
