A cold wintery morning for certain! Enjoy that second steamy mug before you head out.
Fluffy, soft and freshly groomed trails is the forecast for the day. We groomed late last night to get the very best surface this morning. 22km of classic track and corduroy this morning was the result. Very cold overnight, you’ll glide best with blue wax today. Fresh skate and classic on the 5k, 3k, Dog Loop and the Farm. Conditions can be described as zen garden corduroy with a 100 percent chance of great skiing. The dog loop is open and running briskly through the field. The Farm is open and groomed. Plan on and bundling up if you’re out early today. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows Drive trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center. Our new snowcat has been prowling the trails. Keep an eye out for it. Ski with caution on the Farm. Conditions remain thin in places and a high speed mistake will have consequences.
Classic skiing will be so very good today and skate will be slow to start, quite good and getting better as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option if blue hard wax isn’t your game. Bring your partners, friends and neighbors along to play and if you need to take a mid-day “physical and/or mental therapy” break we’ll write you a note. Drop off your skis when you’re finished for an overnight spa treatment. Please purchase AND display your trail pass to access our trails. Ski Joyfully, share the trail, glide into the curves and take a few good laps on our beautiful trails! Thank you for being part of our amazing community and supporting long-form free verse trail poetry. Now grab that beanie, your buff, your good gloves and head outside to enjoy the day!
A special thank you to Prinoth for delivering a shiny new Husky Snowcat for us to use this winter. If you enjoy what we’re providing, be sure to tell your local city officials how great it is to have such an incredible long-term community partnership between PC and White Pine Touring. We’ve been making trails on the golf course and beyond for 47 years. We’d like that to continue.
