Trails Open Excellent snow and ski conditions! Trails are starting to take shape nicely after 8″ of snowfall this week, grooming and weather that is starting to sort out, mainly wind abiding. We have been grooming daily and a fantastic rest of the week and weekend of skiing is set! This coming weekend is our last weekend of ski and lodging operations. The trails will remain open for day skiing until a projected date of April 15th, weather and snow conditions permitting.
Grooming Report Tuesday we packed the singletrack trails Roy’s Run, Rootin Tootin and Wavy Gravy. Twin Lakes, Sukkerbusk, Sap Run and JibFly Pisten Bully groomed with double track set. Skate trail packed. Today we will set track on the singletrack trails we packed today and combing out the skate lanes. At this time Bullhead and Island Lake trails will not be groomed but open for deep powder bushwhacking! We have been grooming daily since December 26th.
Nature Notes: Wildlife has been active the last few weeks. We have been seeing porcupines along the snowshoe trail and Roy’s Run. We have also seen hawks, owls near JibFly and North Star, fox, deer of course, pileated woodpeckers and tons of tracks. Eagle sighted this week near Twin Lakes return at eagle view.
