MLK Monday Haiku:
Give to the People,
Respect and Rights are not free,
Be strong and be good
A HUGE THANK YOU to our groomer and ski community volunteer shoveling teams who’ve spent hours out on the trails keeping you skiing. It’s difficult work and they give their all to make the trails great. We have the best community of supporters and staff around.
Continued Spring conditions, trails will be firm and cold most of the day. We have a lot of skiers and about 7km total open. Be friendly out there and please no walking or dogs on the trails. Cold nights are helping keep the snow around but increasingly warm afternoon temperatures are expected. Blue or purple wax early today with SPF 50+ for skate and classic. A possibility of red wax and base structure working better by late afternoon.
The 3km loop remains full wrapped in snow and open with good coverage due to the heroic community shoveling efforts. We groomed a skate lane refresh on the 3km “Community Loop”, the near side of the 5km “Pond Loop” and Armstrong access last night. Classic tracks are diminished with not enough snow depth to reset. Detours are in place and a short walk is required to connect the two halves of the 5k. The outer part of the 5km will not be regroomed until we get more snow.
Ski with awareness, patience and focus. Skiing will be good all day today. The Armstrong access is packed and OPEN to the field but thin and exposed beyond that. Ski with caution on the firm trails. There are unmarked hazards and the afternoon sun will start to deteriorate exposed parts of the track a bit. The Farm and Dog Loop ski trails remain closed. We are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, rentals of skis and snowshoes. Drop in the shop, check out the new skis, purchase your trail pass and ski today! Snow dances, offerings to the snow deities and yoga this evening at sunset. It will be a lovely sunny day for skiing, wrap up early, peel off layers as needed and go play outside! Ski now, the next storm will arrive someday in the future…
