We have another great day on the trail ahead of us. If you can be choosy about when you come for a ski the morning will likely be a bit better. It will be a great day for skate. Chanse and Tim have cleaned up the skate lane with the snowmobile and ginzue. The track from yesterday is still a good shape.

Donna and Shannon have worked to get the Cafe open to offer some goodies for you this weekend!

Everything is open expect for the Woolner Loop.

With these great conditions before the New Year we have decided to move ahead to open Night Skiing Early! 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.

Oh boy if you aren’t getting out for a ski today what are you even doing?!

Conditions are in great shape. The cold temperature really help settle the snow making it great skiing for both classic and skate. The track is in great shape from yesterday. Both Tim and Chanse cleaned up the skate lanes with the snowmobile and ginzue.

Looks like we are setting up for a great day on snow!

Conditions are in great shape and Chanse has regroomed everything with the ginzue. You will find it soft with the fresh snow we received; making for a stellar classic day.

Back in action with the hopes of more arriving today with snow squalls!

Chanse has regroomed everything with the snowmobile and ginzue. The little bit of snow has mixed in nicely to the current base. First thing will be decently fast where you can get edge, but it will likely quickly slow down as new snow arrives. It is snowing right now so the trails will become snow-covered. There is one thin spot on the last hill of the Big Red (the Wolf).

We have decided to close for one more day. The base remains in good shape depth wise but it is dangerously firm. Chanse tried to use the ginzue to break it up but it is still very firm and fast without getting any edge. Unfortunately we don’t have enough base to take out the Husky. The snow coming today and overnight will make a big difference. Stay tuned and see you soon!

The store will remain open from 9 to 4.

11:20 Update:

Word coming in is that things have turned extra fast with the freezing rain. Like hold onto your hats fast. If you are still feeling keen on a ski today it is really only for experience skiers out there now

__________

It should be an interesting day here weather-wise. It is call for freezing rain, which although is unpleasant to deal with in the rest of our lives it is in fact good news for the ski trails. Freezing rain accumulates which can add to and mix into the base. Rain just melts. So here’s to hoping there will be freezing rain! Chanse has regroomed the skate lane with the snowmobile and ginzue, the track in still in good shape. There is one spot on the last hill of the Back Red, The Wolf, where the rock is peeking through a little bit. Other than that skiing is good! It is setting up as a good skate day.

As a heads up; with the warm direction the temperatures we are getting to tomorrow (Tuesday) we will likely close to the public tomorrow in an effort to preserve our base. As of Wednesday things turn back in our favour again. Everything will be confirmed here tomorrow.

Everything is open expect for the Woolner Loop.

We have a bit of a warm spell today but the trails remain in good shape. If you are classic skiing bust out those waxless and skins! Make sure your skis are waxed and you have liquids to help your skis glide. Chanse has regroomed everything with the snowmobile and ginzue. You may find some drifts, that will cause some rolling on the trails. And just little fun reminder it is December 8 with no rock skis! It has been a little while since we have been able to do that 🤗

A little shout out to Tim who has been working alongside Chanse to get the trails in tip top shape.

Everything is open expect for the Woolner Loop.

I know we are eagerly looking at the forecast the next couple days. *Knock on wood*, it is all looking manageable with temperatures dropping again soon. If we don’t get a Mother Nature curveball we will be skiing next weekend.

Pat on the back to Chanse. He literally worked all night. First on a ginzue repair and then on getting loops like Millennium, Quarry and Back Red open. Everything is in pretty good shape. It will be soft and crazily enough we are seeing some bleed through in a few spots. It seems the ground has not had a chance to freeze up yet. Other than that the skiing is great. Come join us in our Winter Wonderland this weekend!

The Duntroon Snow Globe is working its magic! More snow has fallen and Chanse has regroomed everything with the snowmobile and ginzue. You will likely find things a bit snow-covered and wind blown today, especially on Teal’s Tango. It is a blustery day in the neighbourhood! Put on the layers and join us for a ski!

We have Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Teal’s Tango are open. We are working on getting Millennium and Quarry Loop open, I will update at 9 if there has been success. I have not included it in our distance totals.
