The positive of the morning is cooler temperatures. Overnight ice floes have made the practice loop unskiable. We’ll try to scuff up the surface, but it is not advisable in any way. We’ll be making several light passes on the 3k and Armstrong to see how the surface comes up. Please check in or check the report later for updates.
Possible that we’ll have good skiing in mid morning, but we’re being cautious today. Dog Loop, 5k, practice loop and Farm are CLOSED until we get some more snow. The low bush, grass and icy patches are definite hazards for hard crust cruising as are the dips and icy areas. The heat yesterday did no favors. There are thin spots so be aware and watch for rocks, grass and pavement. There are icy patches and some dirt/cart paths trying to poke through so be careful and keep your eyes open. We are not able to refresh any classic track at this time. Skiing may be best from about 11 until about 3. We can’t control the weather but the next few days we are crossing our fingers, toes, arms and legs in the hope of some new snow coming. Expect hard ice and mixed conditions if you venture out early today. Keep your eyes forward and watch where you are going. Wax will be klister early then skin skis for classic. Violet/red for glide over the day. Be aware of icy patches on the trail, in the parking lot and walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. Please no walking, dogs, running, cycling, driving or trespassing on the trails. As you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy getaway or a much needed break from the news we’re here for you. It will be a great day to drop off your skis for a rejuvenating spa day so they’ll be ready for more spring skiing. Spread some Joy out in the shop, look out for icy and/or wet bits, be safe and be kind. Thank you for being part of our incredible community and reading deeply into this trail report. Drop in the store to say hi, shop the sale and visit for a few minutes. Everyone be safe. If we get some good snow later in the week, we’ll be jumping for Joy!
We strongly recommend stopping in the shop BEFORE you head out on the trails when we have these extreme Spring conditions. If you head out and assume you know the conditions, you could be quite surprised. We want you to have a great ski experience every day and we’re doing our best every day to try to make it happen. Everyone ski safe and aware!
We’ll be making a call Wednesday on the planned Wasatch Citizens race scheduled for Saturday at the Farm. Stay tuned.
