Another scrunchy Spring ski day. Icy early, nice in the middle and slushy late. We set new classic track late yesterday and it was promptly skated over leaving deep ruts that froze overnight. You’re welcome. We’ll try to smooth them out this morning. Hotel guests and condo residents have been using the 5k as an adventure park every night so ski with caution and help us remind them that the ski trail is for skiing, for people who pay for the privilege, it’s not a public park.

Rant over, it’ll be a beautiful spring day, wait until after 10 and come ski your heart out until about 2. After that, please classic. Early crust cruising will be fantastic, but it may break apart earlier than yesterday given the temperatures. Still a couple of really nice demo skis on the wall and three pair of used rental skis. Things are disappearing and we’re planning to stick it out as long as we can. The clock is ticking though. Drop in and say Hi! It’s been a great season so far.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’ll be seeing more green (grass) appearing around the track today. Definitely Spring skiing. Crust cruising might be your best bet early. The track is roughed up but very icy underneath from yesterday’s continued warm temperatures. Best skiing will be starting around 10 or so as things start to soften. Too icy to reset classic early, but we’ll try later. Things will go to mush later in the afternoon so hit that skiing before 3. Watch for icy patches, grass, cart paths, unmarked hazards, geese and various other seasonal afflictions. It is that time of the year. Skiing is excellent in most places but getting sketchy in those sun exposed areas. Choose your path carefully grasshopper. And structure your skis or have us do it!

Sale continues, still a few classic and skate deals around but don’t wait too long. Stay safe and ski aware.

Powder Day! just kidding. The heat and wet overnight have done no favors. The 5k was skiable as of last night despite the dozens of walkers, dogs and spring break visitors tearing it up. Watch for standing water, pavement, patches of grass, ice patches and other unmarked hazards. The skiing is really good except the patches where it isn’t. If you travel carefully you’ll have a good time and enjoy it while it lasts. All other trails will be soft with patches of ice and standing water on the Farm a concern. Just be safe, ski with care and if you’re leaving deep ruts skating, you may want to switch to classic or maybe wax and structure your skis for tomorrow. Spring thaw is here today.

Another beautiful spring ski day. Warming this afternoon with some weather expected tonight. Firm trail this morning, much softer later in the day. All trails are groomed and open with pretty good coverage everywhere. Classic tracks, skate lanes, all the good things so get over here and do some skiing. We’re seeing a fair number of stone grinds and even destroyed bases coming in from some of the area trails, so where ever you are, keep an eye out and ski with alertness. We still have a few demos left on sale and the remaining clothing is 40% off. Still plenty of good skiing out there.

Stay safe and please purchase and display your trail pass. Fuel for the snowcat is definitely not getting cheaper and poaching is both theft and bad karma.
