Saturday Haiku:
Spring conditions day,
Firm and fast early morning,
warm, soft snow later.
The 3km remains OPEN with good coverage due to incredible community and staff shoveling efforts and skillful grooming. Our groomers smoothed and refreshed the skate surface last night on the 3km “Community Loop.” Casual classic tracks are skier set adjacent to most of the loop and on-track classic skiing is good despite the lack of set tracks and snow depth. Off trail classic skiing remains good on the crust. The firm base should hold for well until midday. It will be quite warm this afternoon, so best skiing will be between 10am and 2pm.
Please no walking or dogs or walking of dogs on the trails. Near 50 degree temperatures this weekend will affect the trail conditions and will probably bring up some icy or grassy patches from below. Blue wax early today with base structure, purple/red wax from midday. SPF50+ all day. The 5km Loop, Armstrong, Dog Loop and Farm trails are CLOSED. Ski with attention and caution on the firm trails early and the soft rail late today, There are unmarked hazards out there.
We are OPEN 9-5 today offering lessons, rental skis, and snowshoes. Drop in to the shop, purchase your pass and head outside to play in the sun and snow! Drop off your skis after skiing for a wax spa session. Join us for full moon snow dances, offerings to Ullr, ski yoga and snow bunny spotting in the evening. Wrap up early, peel off the jackets later and lace together some laps!
Ski it while we have it, the next real storm will arrive eventually… someday…in the future…maybe…we’ll see…still believing…fingers crossed…looking to the sky…yesterday was a tease…checking the magic 8-ball twice a day…thinking positive still….
