Just out her in the Mountain Snow Mist.
After an annoyingly warm day yesterday,weather moved in. It started as just a little drizzle and ended with dropping about 3" of seriously moisture laden snow on the trails. It is a perfect refresh for the trails and we are looking good for the upcoming weekend.
With the warm at the onset of the precipitation, the snow base that is holding strong became slushy in many places. That in mind, and to give the snow pack a chance to drain and freeze I have only gone around the core trails and set a single lane with a classic track set. Going too crazy with the grooming right now will bring the water to the surface and create ice once things refreeze later today/tonight. It should pay off for tomorrow and this weekend.
Classic skiing should be nice today. It is a winter wonderland view out there with all of the snow hanging on the trees.
The trails will be groomed out extensively for tomorrow and the upcoming weekend. See you up here.

Spring skiing here in January. Temperatures started the day early at around 40 degrees this morning. They are supposed to stay right around there for most of the day. Trails are in shape and are skiing well, especially considering the low snow conditions.
Trails close into the center are the best but the #4 loop is skiing excellent as well #5 once you pass #7a Junction. #5 through the fields along E. Warren Rd. is thin/icy in spots but very ski-able.
#11, #2 (mostly) and #3 are the winners for quality. #1 is good in spots mostly with some thin and funk to negotiate. Use caution on the downhill sections through out the open terrain as occasional marked and unmarked hazards exist.
A decent Classic track is set on most of the open trails. In general, there is great snow out there. Some scratchy spots exist but everyone who went out yesterday had a blast.
While the air temps are going to be warm today, the highly consolidated base is firm underfoot and skiing nicely. Last night #11 was epic skiing and beautiful as it gets out there.
The weather forecast shows little bit of rain that is supposed to turn to snow for tonight/tomorrow. 1"-2" of snow if we are lucky. Maybe it will come in bigger. Think cold and snow. WILL IT.
Come up and enjoy the T-Shirt weather and surprisingly nice skiing. See you up here.

We are still skiing up here. The base is firm and coverage is still good. The fresh snow has groomed in and despite the crusty appearance the surface is quite edge able. Skate skiing was, dare I say it quite nice this morning. Temps are above freezing so things have softened a bit. Good skiing around the ski center as well as out to the #4 loops. #11 is nice and #1 isn't half bad. #5 through the fields is thin in spots. but doable and worth the trek to get to #7 out to #4/#4a
Skiing is great despite the low snow conditions. It is defiantly worthy of a ski. I re set some track in select areas.
We are looking forward to the potential of some fresh snow later in the week. See you up here.
