Tuesday Haiku:
Spring conditions grow,
skiing is really quite good,
Sunshine, share the love.
Our groomers made a beautiful ski carpet last night on the 3km “Community Loop.” Very cold overnight and warming 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 early today with base structure, purple wax from midday and SPF 50+ 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 classic skiing remains good on the 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, purchase your trail pass and go outside to play! Drop off your skis after your workout for a relaxing spa treatment. Join us for snow dance rehearsals, offerings to Ullr, snacks and snow bunny spotting every evening at sunset. It will be a lovely day for skiing, ski with style, snap in those bindings and tie together some fun laps! Ski now whilst we have it, the next real storm will arrive eventually… someday…in the future…maybe…we’ll see…still believing…fingers crossed…
A special thank you to the Park City Nordic Devo Team for helping shovel and drag snow tarps last night. Everyone is working together to keep us all skiing!
