Wednesday Haiku:
Time to wax your skis,
Take the heat with a warm smile,
Watch the Games and wait..

$17 day tickets today for the intrepid. The relentless heat has won for now. We have suspended grooming to preserve the golf course, our equipment and our remaining sanity. We are still offering lessons and tours today. We managed four weeks of great skiing from the 6 inches that fell January 5th. There are segments of good skiing on the 3km trail, but it is now not continuous due to extreme melting. IF you head out to enjoy the good segments, please be extremely cautious in the thin and/or exposed areas of the trail. There are icy, grassy and cart path patches.
Red beanies are still recommended.
ALL of our trails are officially temporarily CLOSED. Ski at your own risk.

The shop is OPEN 9-5 today offering beginner skate lessons, rental skis, and snowshoes. Drop in to the shop, check out the new ski releases and head outside to play in the sun. Drop off your skis for a wax spa session or repairs. Join us for frenetic snow dances, sacrificial offerings to Ullr, light appetizers and snow bunnies after sunset.
Ski the remaining bits carefully, 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….despite the heat….it simply must snow, right?…maybe next week…definitely not this week…keep the faith…

Good morning! All trails groomed for classic and skate skiing. Some thaw/freeze under the trees and in areas with prolonged exposed to the sun. Cornucopia is getting thin with visible rocks off to the side of the trail. Otherwise great skiing considering the lack of snow so far this winter.

Monday Haiku:
Groundhog day again,
six more weeks of this?! or what,
Don’t trust the groundhog

Despite the April like temperatures, the 3km “Community Loop” remains OPEN with fairly coverage due to heroic staff shoveling efforts and skillful grooming. Our groomers smoothed the skate surface last night on the 3km. 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, warm weather and snow depth. The firm base should hold for well until midday. Best skiing will be between 9:30am and 12pm. Please be cautious in the thinning areas of the trail. Please no walking or dogs or walking of dogs on the trails. Above 50 degree temperatures for the next several days will affect the trail conditions and will bring up some icy, grassy or cart path patches from below.
Red beanies and purple wax early today with base structure, red/yellow wax from midday. SPF50+ all day. The 5km Loop, Armstrong, Dog Loop and Farm trails are CLOSED. Ski with attention and caution on the trails early and the soft trail later today, There are a growing number of unmarked hazards out there.
