Kelly

What a fun day to play in the snow! Almost 30cm of new snow has fallen, and is just lightly snowing now. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. Today is a classic; classic ski day. It will be a bit windy today so finding trails in the trees will be key. We may see a bit of snow cover on the trails with some drifting on…you guessed it. Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango.

Be sure to stay safe driving today.

One fun addition we just added to the Conditions Page is our total snow fall this season. We have been keeping track but hadn’t added it up. I knew it was going to be a lot but boy that is a big number! Someone suggested we put this into perspective a bit.

• I am 163cm tall, which means that the snow fall we have seen this year is 3 (3.13 to be exact) Kellys!
• Teal is 64cm tall from her front paws to the top of her head. The snowfall we have seen this season is 7.97 Teals!
• The tallest skate ski in the ProShop is 192cm. That is 2.66 skate skis!

What would I be wearing while on the trails when it is colder temperatures?

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 keet 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.

Conditions are will be fantastic today. The big talk of course is the storm coming our way. We have decided to go ahead with night skiing as at this moment the big snow isn’t really getting going until 7. We will see a little bit of snow this afternoon creating some snow-covered trails and we may see some drifting on the Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango.

For night skiing we have decided to close at 7PM to give our staff a little more time to get home. Please be off the trails and driving out by 7PM. As always bring a headlamp.

Conditions continue to be excellent out there. What an awesome winter it has been. Chanse has regroomed with the Husky this morning.

We have a small high school race today. The trails will remain open! It is a skate race so the classic track won’t be affected and the kids get sent out in intervals so it spreads out a lot on the trails. Please don’t be worried about it being too busy on the trails. We can all share! The biggest buzz will be between 10:30 and noon so if you are nervous just avoid those times. In the afternoon they will be doing a small loop for relays (500m or so), the rest of the network won’t be used.

One fun addition we just added to the Conditions Page is our total snow fall this season. We have been keeping track but hadn’t added it up. I knew it was going to be a lot but boy that is a big number!

7:30 Addition: I forgot to mention 2PM Ski Club! I will be skate skiing today at 2PM. Angie is unable to make it for snowshoeing today but her trusty sidekick Allen will likely be here at 2PM if you would like to go for a snowshoe!

Hayden has made a guest appearance today and is grooming with the Husky this morning. Chanse is riding Passenger Princess and is in charge of music: country or Meat Eater Podcasts, and snacks: chocolate milk and banana bread. All trails are in excellent shape. It has been lightly snowing since grooming started and you will find the trails slightly snow-covered today. There might be some drifting on the Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango.

We have the makings of a truly fantastic ski day out there! Chanse has regroomed with the Husky and I am pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than this. Little to no wind called for, great temperatures and conditions amazing for both classic and skate! Skiing is a MUST today.

A wintery day ahead of us. Some snow overnight that Chanse has groomed in with the Husky. Classic will be the technique of choice today. We are see some wind gusts and possible flurries today. The key will be finding trails in the trees. The first 100m will be the worst! We will likely see some drifting on Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango.

Night skiing is on tonight! Bring your headlamp. The wind looks like its dying down so this evening should be a pleasant time for a ski.

Another deposit of snow last night to add to our growing base. Chanse has regroomed with the Husky for a great day of skiing. You will find things snow covered today. It is a bit snow with the new snow we have received. If there is a choice today classic would be it. See you on the trails!

Well a few flurries yesterday just causally turned into 18cm of snow! Even though Chanse groomed in the morning it became clear that we were offering a “backcountry” experience yesterday 😂 Chanse has been grooming with the Husky this morning to reset everything. It is currently lightly snowing so we may find things snow covered again. Classic will be the better choice today if you have the option to choose. I am personally loving these winter days! How about you?

Night skiing is on tonight! I am almost forgotten what the sun looks like so I would suggest bringing a headlamp our solar lights aren’t quite getting a full charge!

We had some nice snow come down yesterday which has been a great addition to our base 🤩 Conditions are excellent with Chanse grooming with the Husky this morning. On the cooler side this t0day so it will be worth being mindful about your layers but it will be great out on the trails!
