Today's Report
Somehow we lucked out with some warmer temperatures AND great snow! Skiing will be fantastic. The skate skiers will be very happy today I think.
Everything is open, although our wet spots continue to persist on the Woolner Loop. Chanse regroomed everything with the Husky. He did track set a lot of the downhills today which he doesn’t normally do. We always recommend if you think there is a chance you will be snowplowing always start outside of the track. Instead of starting in the track and trying to step out. Unless of course you feel comfortable stepping in and out of the track at higher speeds!
We continue to have the track on the left side. Why you ask? We are trying to create a firm and even base. Chanse will do this a couple times a season since skate skiers do a great job of packing down the left side of the trail with their skate technique. By switching they will pack down the right side of the trail which will make for a firm track for our classic skiers!
Night skiing is on tonight. No sun=not a lot of solar juice to run the lights. Bring a headlamp as back up!
GET ACTIVE CLUB
Looking for some company on the trails or need help learning the trail system to navigate on your own? Whatever your reason you can meet us Monday’s at 2PM for Get Active Ski Club and we can hit the trails together! Skate, classic, fast or slow we make it workEveryone is welcome to join us.
NIGHT SKIING
Wednesday and Friday’s we will be open until 8. Since conditions can be variable we will make a call each Wednesday and Friday morning if we feel it is safe to go ahead with Night Skiing. Best practice will be to check before you come out to ensure there hasn’t been a change through the day. We haven’t been getting a lot of sunshine lately so bring your headlamp to ensure you have light coverage on your ski.
FACILITY HOURS
Regular Trail Hours are between 8:30 and 4:30. Please come off the trails by 4:30 so the building can close at 5. Staff will wait to ensure all vehicles have left the property safely. Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday; 10 to 3.
