Monday Haiku:
Snow saving mode now,
Share the trails, ski kind please,
Be aware of ice.
The groomers smoothed a beautiful ski carpet again last night on the 3km “Community Loop.” Very cold overnight and today means a very firm dry base with a powdery surface all day. Please no walking or dogs or walking of dogs on the trails. Cold temperatures have been key to helping keep the limited snow around. We’ll definitely be open and skiing well through the week. Warming temperatures this week may affect the trail conditions and bring up some icy patches from below.
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 incredible community and staff shoveling efforts and skillful grooming. Casual classic tracks are skier set adjacent to most of the loop and skiing fairly well. Off trail skiing remains good in the dry crust.
The 5km Loop, Armstrong, Dog Loop and Farm trails are CLOSED. Ski with attention and caution on the firm trails. There are unmarked hazards. We are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, rental 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 dance rehearsals, offerings to Ullr, light appetizers and snow bunny spotting every evening at sunset. It will be a lovely day for skiing, wrap up, ski well, lace up those boots and string together some laps! Ski now whilst we have it, the next real storm will arrive eventually… someday…in the future…maybe…we’ll see…still believing…
Thank you for supporting the arts and long form trail reporting.
