Conditions for January 25, 2026

I am not saying that I am always right but it is rare that I am wrong and I think the people who went for a ski yesterday would have said I was 100% right about the skiing yesterday (not to toot my own horn or anything). It was truly an incredible day. Those types of days are 1 in a million and although it wont be as perfect of a ski day today it will still be a great conditions. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. More snow coming today. Looks like it is really getting going around 11. You will find the trails snow covered and a little drifted in the open areas.

• We have hot chocolate! Everyone coming for a ski today just needs to show their trail passes or Season’s Pass to get a free hot chocolate

Meet Rene for Get Active Club and go for a ski at 2:30 today. Let’s go for a classic ski!

For those who knew Larry honour him with a ski today, although maybe wear better layers than a pair of jeans and a hat that doesnt quite cover your ears.

Everything is open.

What would I be wearing while on the trails in the cold?

Top, 3 to 4 layers: my warmer base layer, merino baselayer that I use for a mid layer, maybe a light fleece (for me I find a fleece too much for a solo ski, although would have keep it if I was skiing with others) and jacket on top.

Bottom, 2 layers (I never wear more than 2 just change the weight): my warmer base layer, and heavier outer pants. Proper underwear makes a difference too! The no cotton holds true to underwear just as much as your base layer.

Accessories: warm hat (Sauce Chill Toque), regular weight buff, warmest mitts (Auclair Gigatex, again I find these too much for a solo ski but good if I was skiing with someone), and my Lorpen socks. I usually put on some vaseline on my cheeks and lips to help cut the wind and add a layer of protection. It won’t specifically help with frostbite but it helps with wind burn.

Bottom line don’t let the cold scare you off! You may discover you can enjoy being outside even when it is cold.
