Trail Report

Great springlike skiing today. Fast and dry in the morning, softer and slow most of the afternoon, then cooling down and tracks glazing up late afternoon. No wax skis were working best and folks waxing were using klister. Don’t go run and hide, there can be some great skiing with klister!! Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes and JibFly groomed this morning. Trails groomed up very nice and skiing was great. Checked out part of the Lotvola Cup course late afternoon and coverage is excellent. Select trails will be groomed tomorrow and cooler temps forecasted should make for some faster skiing unless it warms up enough to soften the snow again. Either way there is a good base of snow and proper adjustments with the wax or skis will make for some nice skiing.

Trail Report

A marvelous March day. Skiing in March can be some of the best of the year. Days are long,  sunshine is intense on clear days and temps are generally moderate. And if a good base of snow exists like it does on the trails now, skiing is very nice. Mother North Star, Poki Loki, Sap Run, and Skaters Waltz groomed last night and skiing on these trails this morning was excellent. All the other trails are in great shape with the only issue a few leaves and forest matter in the tracks here and there from recent wind. The snow is holding out great today with the warmer temps and being in the woods on a day like today is about as good as it gets. Grooming in the morning on select trails most likely to condition the snow from today’s action and other trails might be fast early before softening up with warmer temps forecasted. Cooler weather to start the weekend with chances of snow. Grooming on the trails Friday and Saturday early morning should set the trails up for some great skiing on the weekend and things are looking good at this point for the Lotvola Cup on Saturday.
