Today's Report
Another cool day out but with proper layers and trail choices your will find your day on the trails will be quite nice. The wind is picking up so I think you will find the first 100m is the worst. Once in the trees it makes a world of difference. Key spots like Back Red, Hawberry and Teal’s Tango will get drifted, but the core network will be in good shape.
Chanse has regroomed everything with the Husky!
What would I be wearing while on the trails?
Top, 4 layers: my warmer base layer, merino baselayer that I use for a mid layer, a light fleece (I actually found the fleece too much for a solo ski, although would have kept 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. I forgot to add proper underwear! 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 found 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 help with frostbite but it helps with wind burn.

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.
A long time Season’t Pass holder and friend has offered to Get Active SNOWSHOE Club Monday’s at 2PM as well! Join Angie on a snowshoe this week.
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.
