The holiday miracle continues! 10+km open for skiing. The trails and trees are sheathed in snow. We’ve received about 8″ of snow in the last 72 hours. The wind last night was pretty invigorating but moved some snow around under the trees. The 5km and 3km loops are being groomed and track set this morning, Armstrong trail after that. Armstrong was packed and groomed yesterday but ski with extreme care on the hills and downhill curves. WIth the expected snow coming and going during the day, classic skiing will be very good, skate will be a bit harder on the soft fresh surface.

Wax will be important today to keep from sticking. It will be cold when snowing then warming up and transforming to sticky between the snow showers. Red wax for grip and glide and at a minimum, a good universal liquid on your classic skis, especially on your fishhscale skis (tip to tail). We will be open from 9am to 5pm today. With the extra terrain, we have dropped the directional skiing, but please be kind, ski to the right and pass with care. The track surface should be quite soft and creamy today, like a great cappuccino.

Best skiing will be with your family and friends all day today. Be aware of thin spots and cart paths under the surface. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Everyone please ski with style and share the trail with Joy! Smile, greet the hardworking staff and your fellow skiers and keep an eye out for snow bunnies. Thank you for being part of our amazing community! Ski safe and enjoy the day!
