Ski Trail Report

Trails open. Another incredible frosty morning, trees thick with rime frost. Forest is flocked with snow and frost and the trails are skiing very nice. Today we are hosting a Jr High/JV race. Racing will be in the morning and completed by 1pm. All other trails open for skiing. Today we will continue clearing deadfall and packing Roy’s Run and hope to have tracked by midweek. Very slow going with all the downed branches and overhanging brush.
