Update 9:30AM
Till her up! That's the phrase of the day........
After some tilling looks like we will be able to get around 6-7 KM of trail open.
Trails are covered with snow pretty well and the fresh powder is blowing around. Trail count includes around the main airport field of #2, #11 and the inside loop close into the Ole's Base Lodge.
The surface is looking pretty nice mostly but there are definitely some slick spots around #2 and #11. But some good to excellent skiing too. Use caution on the downhills as slick spots exist.
The inside loop however is looking solid and nice and pliable .We will be out throughout the morning tilling away trying to make things as loose as possible.
Wood stove is cranking. Hot drinks and snacks are available for sale and for your nourishment.
Call with questions.
Fresh snow in the forecast for the New Years Holiday. Looking like potentially another excellent weekend of gliding.
Good Morning,
We are out assessing trails this morning. Coverage is still pretty good out there and about an inch of snow fell overnight. As one could guess however things became quite firm with the freezing rain and then flash freeze overnight. We will be out seeing what can be done about creating a SKI-ABLE surface. Will update ASAP.
SKI SHOP OPENS AT 10AM TODAY TO ALLOW FOR SANDING AND PARKING LOT TREATMENT.
With Heavy freezing rain falling and road conditions downright scary and basically impossible to drive on this morning we will be delaying opening of the ski center today. If road conditions improve later we may try to get things rolling.
A mixed bag of freeing rain, sleet, rain and snow forecast to fall today. Temp forecasts are unclear but we are hoping to be skiing after this weather event.
The last few days of bluebird skies and excellent skiing were incredible. Think snow and we will update trail/shop status later in the day.
Good day to stay in and snuggle up.
Be safe.
