Snow falling with intensity late morning. Total snowfall around 4″ so far as of 2pm. Temp has dropped to the single digits and feels like the middle of winter!! Tracks set on Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Twin Lakes, Mother Hen this morning. Skaters Waltz and North Loup rollpacked this afternoon. We will continue to work on these trails the next 24 hours. Skiing reported as very good this morning and hard to believe it is early March with the cold temps and heavy snow.

Mid winterlike conditions to start the week. Snow falling this morning and as of 9am, around an inch of new accumulation.  Looking at the various models and forecasts, anywhere from 4-20″ possible by Wednesday morning. At this point the snow amount totals look to be highest just to the northwest of us. Cold weather expected to follow for a few days after…..January skiing in March!! Looking at the long range forecasts and considering we are nearing the end of the season, we will be focusing our grooming efforts on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, Bullhead, Twin lakes, North Loup, Skaters Waltz and a couple other inner trails like Lucky’s Loype and JibFly. If there are requests for certain trails to be groomed, let us know and we will try to groom those trails! We plan on grooming at least Skaters Waltz and North Loup until the snow is gone. Last year the last day we skied was May 1st with the last grooming day on April 29th!!

A beautiful day for the Lotvola Cup. After a morning low in the single digits, temp climbed nicely to the upper teens. Light winds, clear skies and intense March sun made for a gorgeous day. Multiple grooming passes conditioned the snow after warm weather and rain Thursday night. The trails were fast but controllable. Thanks to everyone who came out for the race. Looks like another week of midwinter weather with cool temps and chances of snow. Grooming will continue this week as needed. More photos and results on skinnyski.com

Another beautiful springlike skiing conditions day. A shot of rain last night was a bit scary after no snow afterward but multiple grooming passes and clouds giving way to sunshine around lunch time making for some nice skiing on the trails groomed. Trails not groomed were a bit icy but still skiable. The high temp was at 6am when the thermometer registered 32 degrees but since then, the temp has fallen to 18 degrees locally as of 6:30pm.  Grooming this morning on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, Skaters Waltz, Wavy Gravy, Lucky’s Loype, JibFly, Loon Return and a new track set on North Loup. The trails used for the Lotvola Cup are in good shape after multiple grooming passes and final grooming will occur early Saturday morning on all the trails for the course. Expect fast conditions unless new snow falls after grooming. Either way, should be a great day!!
