White Pine

Saturday Haiku:
Teasing storm last night,
A handful of cold flakes fell,
We will ski them all.

Once again the groomers laid down a beautiful smooth carpet of white snow last night on the 3km “Community Loop.” Quite a cold night with at least a dozen new snowflakes on the ground overnight. The trail will be very firm and cold most of the day with a nice freshly groomed powdery skate surface. Enjoy the results of our work out there and please no walking, littering or dogs on the trails. Cold temperatures have been key to helping keep the snow around. We’ll definitely be open and skiing well through the weekend now with the cooling temperatures.
Blue wax all day today with base structure and SPF 30+ for skate and classic. The 3km is OPEN with good coverage due to the heroic community and staff shoveling efforts. Classic tracks are skier set adjacent to most of the loop and skiing well. The 5km Loop, Armstrong, Dog Loop and Farm trails are CLOSED.
Skiing will be quite good again all day today. Ski with attention and caution on the firm trails. There are unmarked hazards out there.

We are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, rentals of skis, and snowshoes. Drop in the shop, pick up some warm winter gloves and a buff, purchase your trail pass and ski! Join us for snow dances, offerings to the snow deities, light appetizers and snow bunny spotting every evening at sunset. It will be a lovely day for skiing, wrap up, ski well, lock into your bindings and lace together some fun laps! Ski now whilst we have it, the next real storm will arrive eventually… someday…in the future…
