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!
Get those snow dancing shoes out! We’re really hoping this one comes in strong. We’ll be doing a very light groom of the 3km, Practice loop and Armstrong this morning. It’s a bit crusty this morning, the the surface will improve as the morning sun comes out and the air warms up a bit. Skiing will be slow, but pretty good given what we have to work with. The surface under the fresh groom will still be quite hard, so ski with awareness. We did have some icy patches and slushy areas pop back up yesterday so keep your eyes open and look forward. It will be another great day for snowshoeing if the skiing isn’t speaking to you and you still need to get outside. We’ll smooth out the surface and have the skate track in shape for you. We’ll be making light passes on the 3k and Armstrong to see how the classic track surface comes up. Please check in or check the report later for any updates. The Dog Loop, 5k, practice loop and Farm are CLOSED and not recommended for skiing until we get some more snow. Keep an eye out for the bush, grassy and icy or wet patches out there. Crust cruising will be worth a try this morning but it will start to crumble quickly. There are thin spots lurking around so be aware and watch for any rocks, black ice, clear ice, grass and pavement. Skiing should be best from about 9:30 until about 2 today.
We can’t control the weather but we are crossing our fingers, toes, arms and legs, but not our ski tips in the hope of some new snow coming tonight. “Wax” will be best with waxed fish scales or 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 cycle we’re here for you every day. It will be a great day to drop off your skis for a restoring wax and aromatherapy treatment so they’ll be ready for more spring skiing after the storm. Spread Joy out on the trail, breathe some fresh air, be safe and be kind. Thank you for being part of our incredible ski community and reading so patiently into our long-form trail report. Looking forward to some changing conditions in the next few days! Drop in the store to say hi, shop the sale and visit for a few minutes. Everyone be safe. If we get some more good snow later tonight, we’ll be jumping for Joy!
We’ll be making a call late Wednesday on the planned Wasatch Citizens Series distance skate race scheduled for Saturday and the viability of the Western Youth Club Championships scheduled this weekend at the Farm. Stay tuned. Your beanies for your season race pass or four completed race are available at the White Pine Nordic Center. It is likely there will be a modified shorter loop given the conditions. Stay tuned for updates after the storm. Registration deadline will still be Thursday at midnight.
