8am Update: use the Teaching Hill to return back to the Chalet.

The trails are holding up even after these warm sunny days. We are starting to see a few more thin spots that had more sun exposure. The downhills are continuing to hold up but if you want to use the S-Climb Bypass to come back to the Chalet that is an option. That can be found at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.
The main thin spots are around the Sugar Shack, Hawberry Loop and the Millennium uphill. Stick to the left coming down from Larry’s Glacier. There is a small rock there. There is also a pilon cover a rock on the Recreational Downhill.
Chanse has done around with the snowmobile to tidy yesterdays traffic with the pan. Blue, Yellow, Orange Trail and Millennium Loop are open.
$15 trail passes
Have you planned your Wednesday and Friday evening this week? On Wednesday we have our snow dance class and Friday its chili night! That the opportunity to snowshoe, fat bike or hopefully ski 🤞 until 8 those evenings as well.
Email ski@highlandsnordic.ca reserve your spot.
Stay on only what is groomed please. Rock skiing is defined as skiing without full coverage and a thin a base, where they may be derby sticking through. Rock skiing is not for beginner skiers and our rentals skis are not to be used.

The reports coming in yesterday said the skiing was pretty good! Yes there are some thin spots to keep and eye out for especially around Sugar Shack and with such a small base it is just like early season November skiing. But up top the snow is much better. The downhills did hold up yesterday but if you want to use the S-Climb Bypass to come back to the Chalet that is an option. That can be found at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.

10:30 Update
We are continuing to get an unexpected light snow falling. Trails will be slightly snow-covered. It is a chilly day at -10 but there is no wind, so with proper layers in the trees it is going to be a dream. Chanse was able to get a track in some spots that still had the snow that held on. Use caution on the downhills. The S-Climb Bypass can be used to come back to the Chalet from the upper network instead of the Hairpin. That is at the bottom of the First Finger just before Millennium Loop. Once at the bottom of the S-Climb follow the Green trail home.
____________________________________
We have had some white gold fall out of the sky over night! Finally just enough to get the ball rolling again.
Chanse is first rolling the trails and then will take the pan out to smooth it. Where its good it’s really good but there are some thin spots and would be considered rock skiing. There isn’t quite enough to put a track in yet. Orange Trail and Millennium Loop are open.

We have received a dusting a snow and it is snowing a little bit now, although the forecast has changed so it doesn’t seem like we are getting much. Stay tuned to see what comes from the sky today.

See you tonight at the Where’s the Fluff race!

During the time our ski trails are closed anyone who is a Season’s Pass Holder are welcome to come hike or run on our network. Humans only please – no pups, unless you are visiting Teal’s Tango. Please remain mindful of the precious snow we still have on the trails. You will discover there are still come sections that are completely snow-covered. Once Mother Nature grants us some more snow we will be using this snow to build our base again. During your outing if you come across a well snow-covered patch of trail please walk on the side of the trail to prevent any damage.
We will remain open for the ProShop and what trails we can offer from 9 to 4 daily.

The ProShop will remain open daily from 9 to 4:30.

Happy new year 🎉 Here’s to a snowy 2023!

Welp…this isn’t the report I was hoping for this morning but unfortunately the warm winds last night did some major damage. We will have to close the trails until further notice. We will get through the next couple days with rain and see what we may be able to patch with shovelling.

Chanse has regroomed the skate lane with the ginzue. Tracks are still in place from yesterday. You will see a bit of a glaze in the tracks, likely transitioning to klister later in the day. Conditions are in good shape with a few thin and bleed through spots on Teal’s Tango, Quarry Loop and Woolner Loop. Although it will be best to get out in the morning before it really warms up.

We have been able to get some of the fat bike trails open. With about 8km rideable. It will be quite soft riding today and likely not a great day to be on the trails. A low PSI will be key. Visit us inside to leave the new loop!

Chanse has taken the Husky out for another lap this morning. Conditions are in good shape with a few thin spots on Teal’s Tango, Quarry Loop and Woolner. Get out to enjoy winter while you can, with some warm weather on its way. Although we are hoping we will be able to limp through 🤞
