Great day of skiing on the plate! Today we will be hosting the Section 8 Nordic Ski Championships. The first part of Sukkerbusk (to the right), Sap Run, Mother North Star and Skaters Waltz will be closed for the races today. If you come day skiing, please use Sukkerbusk to the left to access the west trails and northern trails. Thank you! The western and northern trails have a light dusting of new snow on top of the most recent grooming. The tracks are in great shape and the new snow was skied in Monday. Snow will get slow when it warms up but a nice March day of skiing on tap!

Grooming on Skaters Waltz for the Section race tomorrow. Pulling up older transformed snow and mixing with the new snow from last night. When temp warms up tomorrow, the surface will slow down with the new dry snow in the mix but the deck and base is rock solid like concrete.

Dusting of light snow on top of the trails this morning, March 1st, 2021. New snow will slow down the skiing big time. Conditions will be slower until the next melt freeze cycle. We will have the trails open for as long as possible. Spring ski conditions, fast in the morning, slower mid morning than faster again at dusk. We will groom trails with the best coverage as long as we can.
