‘Twas just days before Christmas and all through the land, the skiers were nervous, the forecast was bland. Our hopes remain high and the track remains white, the 3k is touched up and skiing quite nice.
Just a touch up groom this morning in order to save snow depth. The surface this morning is very good and the period of cold overnight was helpful. The surface will be softening through the day. Best skiing will be from 9:30 to about 1 pm today on red or purple wax. If the trail is softening significantly, please switch to classic skiing. Please ski early if you are able to. We’re solidly back to snow saving and shoveling mode. 3km “Community Loop” is open. The gliding will be quite good today if your skis are waxed and ready. The 5 km “Pond Loop” is still closed. The off-track snow on the 5k is good and we packed the trail surface to try to preserve the base. Be aware of thin spots and cart paths just under surface if you venture out. The 5km side is only for the intrepid and rock skis given the thin conditions and unmarked hazards. The penalty for catching an edge on the cart path can be significant. Our hours are 9am to 5pm daily. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Everyone please ski filled with happiness and the Joy of being outside, greet the hardworking staff and your fellow skiers and keep an eye out for the ermine and snow bunnies. Thank you for being part of our amazing community!
The Wasatch Citizens Series classic race scheduled for Saturday at the Farm has been postponed. We’ll find a replacement weekend later in the winter with a bit more snow. Everyone have a safe holiday season and we’ll see you at the January races!
There are a few shovels and scoops on the 3km trail. Enjoy some cross training and toss a couple of scoops of snow on to the thin spots. You’ll be stronger, get great feeling of being part of our wonderful ski community and also help the track last longer. Even a few scoops will fill your heart and your trail with Joy and the trail with the good stuff.
We are fully stocked with everything you need for your Nordic adventure from gear to clothes, beanies to gloves. The gift of a ski lesson is always the right size and lasts a lifetime. Stop in, say Hi and check out the store! We’ll be closing at 3pm on December 24th, Open 10-3 on Christmas day.
