If you look up “wintry mix” and look out the window this morning you see what we have this morning. A wet mix of rain, sleet and snowflakes this morning. It is too warm and wet, so we are not grooming the 3km and Armstrong this morning. They are skiable, but you’ll have to pick your way around a few areas of significant snowmelt from this week’s heat wave. We will have mixed bag of slush and grassy areas today. The best skiing will be tomorrow after it snows some tonight. It is too warm and wet for crust skiing today. Skating is not advised today at all. Please ski classic if you come out to keep from damaging the trail and your skis.
More warm wind is expected late in the day which may make it quite soft before the storm comes in. We have icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas under the snow and near the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely. Please check in at the Nordic Center for any updates. The magic 8 ball indicated that we’ll see some snow tomorrow but said “outlook hazy” for ski conditions today.
The 5k, Dog Loop and Farm are CLOSED. Keep an eye out for growing wet patches and water hazards flowing above and below the surfaces. Wax will be yellow with structure or surfboard today. Flippers and snorkel are optional. Wax and base structure matter in weather like this. Well-waxed fish scales or skin skis for classic are recommended. Please be aware of any icy or wet patches near the trails, in the parking lot and on 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. When you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy getaway or a well deserved break from the news cycle we’re here for you.
It will be a perfect day to drop off your skis for a warm wax massage treatment before tonight’s snow. Sip a warm mug of Joy, venture bravely outside, be safe and be kind out there.
