Today will be a beautiful winter day! Crisp temperatures with no wind. What a great day to be outside! We had a nice little instalment of snow arrive over night that Chanse has groomed with the Husky.
Night skiing tonight! As always bring your headlamp as backup.

Looks like we are starting to see temperatures warm up today. Still a bit of wind which will cause some drifting on Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango but other than that conditions are in great shape. It will be awesome skiing! Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky.

I really hope these cold temperatures aren’t keeping you away from skiing! We have had some incredible skiing the last couple of days and that will continue. Proper layer choices and choosing trails in the trees makes all the difference in the world. There is a bit of wind predicted today so on key open spots there will be a bit of drifting. Such as Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango.

Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. Night skiing is on tonight! Ensure to bring a headlamp as back up.

What would I be wearing while on the trails?

Top, 4 layers: my warmer base layer, merino baselayer that I use for a mid layer, a light fleece (I actually found the fleece too much for a solo ski, although would have kept 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. I forgot to add proper underwear! 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 found 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 help with frostbite but it helps with wind burn.

Another cool day out but with proper layers and trail choices your will find your day on the trails will be quite nice. The wind is picking up so I think you will find the first 100m is the worst. Once in the trees it makes a world of difference. Key spots like Back Red, Hawberry and Teal’s Tango will get drifted, but the core network will be in good shape.

Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky!

We have a bit of a cold snap ahead of us but don’t skip out on your ski because of it! Pay attention to the winds and add some layers. Skiing in the cold can be some of the best skiing. We had some beautiful fluffy snow come down to mix into the base. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky.

Looks like in the morning the winds will be quite still and in the afternoon it picks up. Of course I will still be heading out for 2pm Ski Club! I will be classic skiing but skaters are also welcome.

Another classic January day! We have a great day of skiing ahead of us. Here’s where I will admit to you that yes it is super chilly out there BUT little to no wind called for today. This can make all the difference in the world. Trust me; add an extra layer and you will have the best ski.

Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. It is currently lightly snowing so you mind find things a little snow-covered if it keeps up. Still this silly wet spot on Woolner Loop but it is easy to avoid. The Green has been double tracked.

We have a great day of skiing ahead of us! Conditions are excellent with our usual wet spots on the Woolner Loop. Chanse regroomed everything with the Husky. Our track has moved back to the right side of the road and he has double tracked the Green Trail.

We are dealing with some sticky snow! Ensure your skis have been waxed and that you are using products like Easy Glide to help keep you moving on the trails.

Somehow we lucked out with some warmer temperatures AND great snow! Skiing will be fantastic. The skate skiers will be very happy today I think.

Everything is open, although our wet spots continue to persist on the Woolner Loop. Chanse regroomed everything with the Husky. He did track set a lot of the downhills today which he doesn’t normally do. We always recommend if you think there is a chance you will be snowplowing always start outside of the track. Instead of starting in the track and trying to step out. Unless of course you feel comfortable stepping in and out of the track at higher speeds!

We continue to have the track on the left side. Why you ask? We are trying to create a firm and even base. Chanse will do this a couple times a season since skate skiers do a great job of packing down the left side of the trail with their skate technique. By switching they will pack down the right side of the trail which will make for a firm track for our classic skiers!

Night skiing is on tonight. No sun=not a lot of solar juice to run the lights. Bring a headlamp as back up!

Another wonderful day on the trails. Everything is in great shape and regroomed for you by Chanse in the Husky. See you on the trails!

Nothing makes me happier than when I go to bed and its snowing, and I wake up the next morning to 20cm of snow! It is the best feeling. Lots of new fresh snow came overnight. Chanse has regroomed with the Husky, although you will find it a bit soft today.

Everything has been groomed just our same old wet spot on Woolner. Trails may get a be a bit snow-covered through the day. Looks like we have a little wind today, so with this new snow you may find it a bit drifted in spots.

Night skiing is on tonight! Be sure to have your back up headlamp.
