Conditions

Chanse was up this morning to do a couple laps on the snowmobile and ginzue. It was doing more damage than good, so we will keep machines off for today. It didn’t go below zero last night. Hovered around 1 degree all night but there was a ground frost that helped firm up the base. We have crust layer on top. It would be best to wait until it warms up a little bit and let the sun get on the trails to soften them up. It will be fast first thing and then quickly slow down as it gets warmer. Given the forecast…welcome to Spring skiing!

We will see some thin spots come through. Likely on the knuckle of the Quarry Loop and Teal’s Tango.

We will close off the lower parking the lot for the next couple of days. Please park in our upper lot.

The Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday. During the week from 10 to 3, and on the weekend from 10 to 4.

We absolutely pride ourselves on accurate conditions post. Everything we write is coming straight from Chanse (with maybe a little extra flare). We will also be honest about how the trails are looking to ensure everyone has a good time!

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WALKING ON THE SKI TRAILS. Walking on the trails can do lasting damage.

Upcoming Events

We have a little warm spell over the next couple of days but with our current base we should be able to make it through. Chanse has tidied up with skate lane with the ginzue and snowmobile. The track is solid and in place from yesterday. Conditions will be their best first thing when we open and likely soften up by 10 or 11. It is staying above zero for night skiing but it will likely turn a bit fast as the sun goes down.

Chanse is out there cleaning up the trails with the Husky. It is going to be an incredible day! If you can I would choose to come for a ski in the morning. We are seeing the temperatures rise above zero today so conditions will get soft around noon. It will still be good skiing if you decide to come in the afternoon! It will just be a little slower. We getting some warmer temperatures the next couple of days. We are feeling confident that we will get through this little warm spell. Especially since it will be getting cold at night and we have the mighty Husky to groom the trails!

Surprise! We had another 15cm of unforecasted snow arrive yesterday. It is going to be the most perfect outside. We are in the best conditions of the season on top of the fact we are going to see some sun today. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. With all the fresh snow conditions will be a bit soft, so if you have a choice classic skiing is the way to go today.

Another 15cm of snow just for me arrived overnight, don’t worry I will share 🤗 We are happy to report we woke up to another dumping of snow. It will be an excellent day on the trails. Looks like we are going to be getting a bit of snow throughout the day so you will see the trails snow covered after Chanse has groomed everything with the Husky. Of course you can still skate but it is a better classic day since the trails will be a bit soft.

Well we have a nice fast machine groomed granular….JUST KIDDING! I was sick of writing that. What we really have is Mother Nature stepping up her game. About 15cm of new snow and it is still lightly snow now. Chanse is out managing the snow in the Husky. It will be a wonderful winter ski out there. You will find conditions on the soft side, making it a great classic day. Welcome back winter!

We are seeing another great day on the trails. Chanse has cleaned up the skate land with the Ginzue since the track is still in great shape. Take the time to enjoy being outside today!

We have a small high school event today for athletes to qualify for OFSAA! The trails will remain open and they are skating. The trails will be the most active from 1030 to noon. Give them a cheer and a wave as they go by! 🎉

There are a few thin spots on Woolner Loop and one wet spot. We are still see it a little bit thin on the knuckle of the Quarry Loop and on Teal’s Tango.

8:45 Update:

Chanse has managed to get the Woolner Loop open as well! It is a bit thin in a few spots and where Teal’s Tango completely lost its base you will see some grass poking through. Other than that we are happy to report we are fully open!

As we know winter has been a bit of a Diva lately but she is back and putting on a good performance! Fresh snow last night and more in the coming days. As you can imagine this snow is making a big difference on the trails. Chanse is out in the Husky preparing the trails for you. It is currently snowing so you will see snow covered trails when you are out for your awesome ski today.

Woolner Loop are closed. We are still see it a little bit thin on the knuckle of the Quarry Loop and on Teal’s Tango.

A bit more shovelling for Chanse and adding Malcolm M to the mix. Green is now in better shape and snow has been pushed onto the Recreational Downhill, although we are still seeing a few icy patches on that hill so just use some caution. The other hills and trails are in pretty good shape. The track has been left in place and Chanse has cleaned up the skate lane with the Ginzue. The skiing isn’t perfect but is pretty darn good out there! Looks like we have some snow in the forecast 🤗

Teal’s Tango, Quarry & Woolner Loop are closed. We are seeing some thin spots coming off the Back Red, Ridge Top and Hawberry.
