Conditions for February 7, 2026

You know me I am always here for my true and honest review and at the moment frankly she is fierce out there. Snow conditions are good; weather conditions not so much. Coming out for a ski first thing will not be in your favour but it looks like things will settle down around 11 and is suppose to be a little calmer for the balance of the day. Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky. You will find drifts out on the trails today. Classic will be the technique of choice.

If you are looking to get out the house for some shopping instead of ski do I have a deal for you! Today is Demo Day (I sure know how to pick em!) We will be setting up the brands inside so you can chit chat with their reps about the latest gear in nordic skiing. We are expecting Fischer, Madshus, Rosssignol, and Salomon. Our Feel the love sale has also started this weekend. Find newly added sale items on our It’s Snow Discounted rack, from 33% to 50% off and select skis on sale for 25% off.

Stay safe out there!

Everything is open.

What would I be wearing while on the trails in the cold?

Top, 3 to 4 layers: my warmer base layer, merino baselayer that I use for a mid layer, maybe a light fleece (for me I find a fleece too much for a solo ski, although would have keep 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. Proper underwear makes a difference too! The 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 find 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 specifically help with frostbite but it helps with wind burn.

Bottom line don’t let the cold scare you off! You may discover you can enjoy being outside even when it is cold.
