Good morning skiers! Another Carpe Ski-em day! A little cloudy this morning with slowly warming temperatures through the day. The magic 8 ball indicated that the outlook definitely looks good for both skate and classic today. We’re grooming the 3km and Armstrong skate surfaces today. No changes to yesterday’s good classic tracks. Skiing should be very good today with moderate air temperatures. The 3km, Practice Loop and Armstrong trails will be open today. Trails will be firm for skating with some glaze in the tracks for classic. There are icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas lurking under snow and near the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely.
The CLOSED ropes are still tied tightly across the 5k, Dog Loop and Farm.
Wax will be violet/red with structure today for both kick and glide. It will get sticky later today under the cloud cover, so polishing, spraying or dripping and ironing some fresh wax on the tips and tails of your skis will definitely improve your glide and your skiing Joy.
Please be cautious of any icy, muddy or wet patches near the trails, on any pavement and on walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. We continue to offer our “get outside and unplug” services daily. If you need to take a physical and/or mental break or a break from the daily news cycle we’re here for you. It will be a great afternoon to drop off your skis for a hot wax spa visit to keep you gliding or a storage wax if you’re about done for the season. Grab a warm mug, layer for the changing weather, keep an eye out for bunnies, hawks and other wildlife, ski safe and be kind. Thank you for being part of our incredible community center and sticking with us this crazy “winter.” Drop in the store to say hello, shop the sale and visit for a bit. Everyone ski safe and grab some winter fun while you can! We don’t know when closing day will be but don’t wait to get your ski on when the conditions are like this!
