January 27
Trails continue to be in excellent shape! Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. We have some significant wind in the forecast today. I think we should count ourselves lucky that this wasn’t around when it was super cold! All that to say you will do better to find trails in the trees. Areas like Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango will get quite drifted today. Maybe mix it up a bit! Something like Yellow but add Millennium, Second Finger and Back Orange. All trail with some good coverage but still getting some distance!
Today is Get Active Club! I will be skiing at 2PM today. Probably skate, but as always anyone is welcome to join with whatever technique. Angela will also be snowshoeing at 2PM if you are looking for a trail buddy!
A couple gentle reminders.
We love dogs are pleased that we can offer a place for them to run with you as you ski on Teal’s Tango but please no dogs in the building. As well ensure that you are only bringing your dogs on Teal’s Tango. The rest of the trails are not open for dogs.
The Upper Lot is reserved parking only. You will be asked to move to the Lower or North Lot if you are not a Highlands Nordic Staff member or someone with a Reserved Parking pass. This applies 7 days a week.
Thank you!

NIGHT SKIING
Wednesday and Friday’s we will be open until 8. Since conditions can be variable we will make a call each Wednesday and Friday morning if we feel it is safe to go ahead with Night Skiing. Best practice will be to check before you come out to ensure there hasn’t been a change through the day. We haven’t been getting a lot of sunshine lately so bring your headlamp to ensure you have light coverage on your ski.
FACILITY HOURS
Regular Trail Hours are between 8:30 and 4:30. Please come off the trails by 4:30 so the building can close at 5. Staff will wait to ensure all vehicles have left the property safely. Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday; 10 to 3.
