Quite a storm! We had about one foot of new dense snow overnight. A beautiful winter morning with moderate cold temperatures. Snowing lightly at 7 but it should stop before 9 and then intermittent during the day. Come ski in the snow globe! We’re grooming the 3 and 5km trails first, then we’ll take the snowcat down to the farm after the core trails are done. It’s possible it will get a bit breezy later so skiing early may be a good decision. The skate and classic track will be soft and in great shape. All trails are open, but grooming focus will be on the core near the nordic center first. Occasional snow is expected during the day with another few inches. Ski with awareness. The 3k and 5k will be ready first, the Dog Loop, Farm and Armstrong will be groomed next. Red/Blue or Violet wax today.
