No fooling. We are now closed for the season. We’re making preparations to loan the ski trails to the gold course for the off season. Crust skiing and track skiing were so good yesterday. You missed out if you didn’t come by. Thank you everyone for all of your support this season. Thank you for wearing your masks and helping us stay open and healthy all season. Thank you for purchasing and displaying your trail passes and for helping us keep the ski trails in great shape for skiers.

We’ll see you out on the other trails this summer! Stay safe, stay healthy and we’ll see you in November!

A Tale of Two Seasons (every day lately!) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. A great healthy season and the end of the season..

Conditions all day yesterday were best described as “sporty” Ice and solid surface all day.

This morning is such the same early on the 3k and Armstrong pasture. We’ve scratched up the surface for skating. Recommending crust skiing early, on the track later. No new classic set, but by afternoon the ice should quickly turn into slush for you classic cruising. There will be some good skating from late morning but it is what it is for the final day of our season. Last chance to load up on anything you need to finish off the season. We’ll be packing the gear, parts and waxes up first thing tomorrow. Next week the golf course folks will be doing a lot of work out on the course so maybe head to higher elevation or very early morning cruising at the base of PCMR (get out of there by 8:30)

We’ll see you out on the trails the afternoon!

Stay safe everyone!

The season finale countdown. We won’t leave you with a cliffhanger. the 3k and Armstrong will be groomed for skate today. Very icy and hard track morning due to the very cold overnight temperatures. Conditions should be much more fun late morning with the sun hitting the surface. crust skiing is very very good this morning. The Farm is finished from a grooming standpoint, the trail is marked closed. The crust skiing should be great there most of the day if you’re feeling adventurous. Crust skiing on the 3k or the outer edges of the 5k might be a great activity! accessing the 5k fingers might be difficult with the ramping up of construction of the water plant and ponds. Use caution and watch where you’re going please.

Tomorrow is it for the season. If you get a chance, drop in and tell the staff Thank you. It has been quite a covid winter and we’ve been open every single day since Thanksgiving week (not all of them for skiing early on….) Get your skis in today for storage wax or repairs so that you can pick them up tomorrow.

Stay safe, finish the season with panache and we’ll see you out on the trails!

Hard to say… 50 degrees at 8:00 am with an icy crust on top. We’ve scratched up the 3k for skating, doing the same on the Farm. The 60 degrees did no favors for the trails yesterday. Some disconnects showing up on the Farm, but crust cruising should be great in the pasture and along the open areas. Not sure how long the crust will hold so time it right. It is supposed to get colder as the day goes on so maybe we’ll make it until Wednesday. Today could be the last groom on the Farm. At a certain point you just have to channel your inner Disney princess and “let it go”

Ski with caution and watch where you are going. Mid day should be best, but no guarantees with the weather like this. Get your skis in no later than TOMORROW for storage wax so you can pick them up Wednesday. After that we’ll have to leave them in the parking lot for the summer.

Thank you all for your on going support and we’ll see you out on the trails. (While they last)

SPF100 today Afternoon temperatures in the mid 50’s. The 5k is finished, just the practice area and a small loop left of okay skiing. The 3k and Armstrong are full on Spring with an icy crust this morning, great skiing mid morning until early afternoon, then mush. The Farm is skiing great, but the ribbon of white is going to be the dominant visual later today. PLEASE purchase and display your pass – we are checking and everyone was so nice about it yesterday.

If you don’t have a pass, drop some money in the box by the gate. It’s good for your soul to pay for what you use.

Don’t tell anyone, but the crust skiing has been incredible in the mornings… The story is, if you want to ski, get here! If you’re done, drop off your skis no later than Tuesday for storage wax or drop in the shop to pick up some wax if you’re doing your own. We will be closed for the season as of 6pm Wednesday.

Stay safe, stay healthy, mask up, ski aware of high contrast areas on the trails and Thank you for being wonderful customers!

the end is near… But today should be a fantastic SPF70+ day! the 5k described with compassion is “discontinuous” in places. if you ski it, please use caution and note the high contrast sections where white turns into black pavement or brown grass. Glide is very poor over those section. The 3k should be spectacular most of the day until it turns into a slush fest in the afternoon. Be cautious around the couple of narrow, thin or icy spots in a few of the turns. Armstrong and the Farm will be very very good, but as always this time of year, pay attention to where you are going.

Please purchase and display your pass – poaching has been on the rise this week.

Our final day of grooming and having the shop open will be Wednesday March 31st. if you need storage wax, get your skis in no later than Tuesday! If you need to buy wax, get in now to get what you need. we’ll be packing things out Thursday morning to help get ready for the off-season golf use of the ski trails. Stop in and say Hi and thank the WPT staff for managing to stay healthy and open this season. We’ve worked incredibly hard so that you can enjoy your skiing. A little love goes a long way.
