Conditions

Looks like we are gearing up for a pretty good ski day. We received a dusting of snow that mixed in nicely to the base with Chanse out in the Husky. Chanse shovelled his little heart out yesterday to take care of some of the dirty spots. We are seeing a few thing spots on Woolner and Teal’s Tango. Skiing will be fast but with control today. It will be a fun day! Chanse has switched the track to the left side of the trail today. This strategy helps keeps the base firm across the whole trail. For those curious/concerned; we did not receive rain yesterday. There was a light drizzle near the end of the day into the early evening but nothing major.

There is a small high school event today. They will be skate skiing. If you see them ski by give them a cheer! They are working towards the goal of OFSAA.

By the way…Demo Day is this weekend on Sunday February 4. Come test out some gear from Salomon, Rossignol & Madshus!

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

Anyone else in disbelief that is February?! Let’s hope that it brings us a snowstorm or 2.

Chanse has cleaned up the skate lane with the Ginzue and left the solid track from yesterday. We are seeing some icicles drop into the track from the trees. You will find classic skiing won’t be good first thing but get better as the day goes on. Skate skiing will be awesome all day long!

There will be a few dirty spots out on the trails but they are minimal. On Woolner there will be a few wet spots.

Skiing continues to be awesome out there! It is worth the trip. We had another couple centimetres fall yesterday that mixed in nicely to the base. Chanse has taken out the Husky to regroom the track and skate lanes.

There is night skiing tonight! I would suggest a headlamp as we have continued to not really get much sun to charge our solar panels.

We are seeing more of the same type of conditions as we have had the last couple of days. Chanse has tidied up the skate lane with the snowmobile and ginzue. The track is from yesterday and is still in good shape. It is going to be fast first thing and then get more control (especially on the downhills ) as it warms up. Have fun out there today!

There will be a few dirty spots out on the trails. On Woolner there will be a few wet spots. Overall the skiing as been great!

Another really nice day to be out on the trails. With little to no wind today and maybe a chance of a little bit of sun. How could you not go skiing today?!

Conditions are in great shape with a little bit of fresh snow mixed into the base. We are still seeing a fast groomed granular but you can get a good edge in. Plus Chanse is out in the Husky today to refresh everything. This is especially helpful on the downhills after the traffic on the weekend. There is lots of control on the downhills!

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 😉

There will be a few dirty spots and derby out on the trails. On Woolner there will be a few wet spots. Teal’s Tango will have a few thing spots. But overall conditions are in good shape! And we might even see some sun today 🤗

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.
