Wednesday Haiku:
The 3k holds strong,
It is better than you think,
Daily we move snow
Weather on repeat. Even the magic 8 ball is saying “ask again later” The trail will be very firm and cold most of the day with a nice fresh powdery skate surface on the 3k “Community Loop.” Be friendly out there and please no walking, littering or dogs on the trails. Cold nights are helping keep the snow around and warm afternoon temperatures haven’t been causing too much havoc. If we make it safely through the next two afternoons without much trail melt, we’ll definitely be open through the weekend. Blue or purple wax today with base structure and SPF 50+ for skate and classic. The 3km loop remains a solid loop wrapped in snow and OPEN with good coverage due to the heroic community and staff shoveling efforts.
We groomed a skate lane refresh on the 3km “Community Loop” last night. Classic tracks are skier set adjacent to most of the loop and skiing well. The 5km Loop, Armstrong, Dog Loop and Farm trails are currently CLOSED. They will not be regroomed or reopened until we get more snow.
Skiing will be quite good again all day today. Ski with awareness and caution on the firm trails. There are unmarked hazards and the afternoon sun will start to deteriorate exposed parts of the track a bit.
We are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, rentals of skis and snowshoes. Drop in the shop, visit for a while, purchase your trail pass and ski today! Snow dances, offerings to the snow deities and yoga every evening at sunset. It will be a lovely sunny day for skiing, wrap up early, peel off layers as needed and string together a few laps! Ski now whilst we have it, the next storm will arrive eventually…
A HUGE THANK YOU to our groomer, staff and ski community volunteer shoveling teams who’ve spent hours out on the trails making your skiing possible. It’s difficult work and they give their all to make the trails great. We have the best community of supporters and staff around.
