Chanse started off with the snowmobile and ginzue and found it wasn’t doing the trick. Thankfully the temperatures had dropped enough that Chanse could take out the Husky. We have a groomed granular that will be fast but you will still have control and be able to get an edge. It is a slow go this morning and Chanse will still be out on the trails for opening time, please just be mindful of that. Teal’s Tango will be the last thing he grooms (likely switching to the snowmobile and ginzue) and we expect that to be done and ready at 10.

There is a small biathlon race today. They will use Rainbow Out and Millennium for their race course. Take the Green trail to connect to the rest of the trails. If you see some racers out there give them a cheer! They are working hard. Snowshoers will just need to keep an eye out for skiers as you cross the trail.

There will be a few dirty spots out on the trails. On Woolner there will be a few wet spots. Overall conditions are in good shape and reports coming in yesterday that people had a great day on the trails!

Staying off the trails the last couple of days has served us well. The base did settle a bit but in the grand scheme of things we didn’t loose a lot.

Chanse has regroomed with the Husky to break up the crust and mix in the freezing rain with the snow. It will be a fast groomed granular today but in a fun way. You will still be able to get a good edge. It is a good time to buy some skins if you are classic skiing 😉

Let’s see if we can get through this bump in the road of nasty weather. There is a lot of rain and freezing rain called for today. It seems crazy but we would rather have freezing rain than rain because it accumulates and is something we can mix into the base. We will close the trails today in another effort to preserve snow. The snow is in a very vulnerable state and machinery and people will do a lot of damage. The ProShop will be open from 9 to 4.

Here we are again with another year past after the passing of Larry. I will admit this is the first year I don’t really have words to pull together so I will keep it simple. He would just be baffled by this stupid weather, he would have thought the bathrooms upgrades could have been money could have been spent on machinery (although he would have admitted that they look awesome), he would have been jazzed about the heat pumps (always one to be excited about technology) and he would have given a big old thumbs up and grin with a “right on” to all of the new people who tried cross country skiing this past weekend.

We miss you. See you on the trails 💙

We had a gentle rain all night which is the best we could have hoped for. It seems like we have managed to hold onto our base. It is still white out there! But for today we will close the trails to help preserve the snow. The snow is in a very vulnerable state and machinery and people will do a lot of damage. The ProShop will be open from 9 to 4.

We will see another blow from Mother Nature later today. The better skiing will be in the morning. The snow is wet so your key to success today will to Easy Glide and making sure your skis are waxed. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky and is *currently* in good shape.

We will remain open for night skiing this evening.

As a heads up we may decide to close the trails tomorrow depending what happens overnight.

Skiing is awesome but yet we have questionable weather on its way later this week. The forecast still has a couple days to change its mind but in the meantime make the most of the great skiing we have. Conditions are in excellent shape and Chanse has regroomed with the Husky.

What a way to start the week! Skiing will be awesome on this happy Monday. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. Not much else to say expect get out and enjoy the skiing today!

We were in the most beautiful little snow globe yesterday. We saw unexpected snow fall all day. Chanse is out grooming with the Husky and the trails are tilling up nicely. Skiing will be excellent today.

It is suppose to be cooler this morning and warm up nicely by noon but let me give you a few tips for the colder temperatures!

• Layers are your friend. I would suggest add one more slightly heavier layer (like a light fleece) or 2 light to mid layers.
• Make sure your face is protected. Add something like a buff to cover you face. Also adding a protective product to your face will also help, although that will help more with wind. Sunscreen or vaseline are a couple options.
• Don’t ski for as long! Break up your ski into shorter laps and come in for a warm up in-between (cinnamon bun break anyone 😉)
• We all know the wind can make a big difference when we are spending time outside. Choose a trail in the trees to stay a bit more protected in the shelter of trees.

Bottom line don’t let the cold scare you off! You may discover you can enjoy being outside even when it is cold. It also isn’t particularly windy today which can make a huge difference.

Everything is open, including the Woolner Loop. There are a few wet spots on the Woolner Loop.

The trails have cleaned up nicely this morning for you! Chanse is cruising around the Husky this morning after we have received a nice little top up of snow. Today is a total classic ski day (of course you can still skate!). It will be a bit soft and with the cold snow will be a bit slow. Snow is currently falling so you will find the trails a bit snow covered.

You may have noticed it is a little chilly out there. Let me tell a few tips to work with these colder temperatures!

Chanse has taken the Husky for another tour this morning. Trail conditions are in excellent shape! Don’t let the cold scare you off. It has been some beautiful skiing. There is not bad weather just bad clothing choices. Put on an extra layer and enjoy being outside!

Everything is open, including the Woolner Loop. There are a few wet spots on the Woolner Loop.

Night skiing is open tonight! Night skiing will be open on Wednesdays and Fridays until 8PM. We would highly recommend bringing a headlamp. Our night lights are solar powered and you may of noticed there really hasn’t been any sun! As well as the cold temperatures the batteries will not have enough juice to get the lights on tonight.
