What a sunrise today! (You can see it on our IG stories) Another beautiful spring morning to welcome our 125th day on snowy trails this season! Cold overnight with sun and significant warming through the day. Crust skiing will be very good this morning, skating early will be firm and fast with much diminished classic track in place on the 3k. Fast and spicy/icy early skiing. When the sun is out it will be intense again today. Possibly cloudy a bit later as we get ready for the weekend snow. SPF 50 and a ball cap are recommended for beach wear today. WE ARE OPEN AND GROOMING UNTIL APRIL 10th! Come out and show your support for locally owned and operated cross country skiing. 3k, 5k and Armstrong are groomed and shallow partial track set today. We’ll try to get out late in the day to roll the farm, but no heavy grooming with the weather how it is. Everything is still open, but pay attention while you’re skiing. Skating later in the day will be slow and potentially sticky unless your skis are well waxed and structured. Please ski before 3 today if you possibly can. If you ski after 2 you’ll be muscling your way through the slush. We are fighting the sun and the Gobi desert dust from last month to keep the 5k open. Deep ruts and slush late in the day. There are icy/thin spots lurking in exposed areas, near the ponds and under the trees especially on the 5km. A short walk near the cottages will get you to really nice skiing on the far reaches of the 5k. Ski with awareness and some caution near those. Help us remind people that the ski trails are for skiing. Skating and Classic skiing will soften with the heat of the spring sun but you should find a sweet little window of fun. Great ski time will be from 10:00-1:00 today. Red/Blue or violet wax and structure today. Yellow wax and flat skis for the afternoon. Please be aware of changing conditions, bare patches forming. Please be mindful and ski within your abilities. Come play outside then drop in the shop to say hello and check out our ski wall. Anchor a great deal on gear and clothing at our annual clearance sale. Have a joy-filled beach ski day, show off those hard earned ski muscles and keep an eye out for the sandhill cranes.
