About as nice of a cold winter January morning as it gets out there this AM. An incredible sunrise out there with the sun's warmth creating frost fog above Ole's trail system. A balmy 6 degrees to start but Temps. will rise to a high of 17 degrees today with calm winds forecast. It's gonna' be a good day......... again.
All of the core trails including #1 and #11 and #2a received fresh grooming this morning. Also groomed is #6 to the #7 junction and into the #4 loops. The outer loop of #6 to 10 and #9 is rolled out nicely and will be given the royal grooming treatment later today or early tomorrow morning. Nice down there but ski with caution and careful as always on the downhill sections.
Tomorrow looks a little chilly I guess, not too bad for Cross Country in my opinion. Saturday and Sunday, with a high in the middle teens, full sun and calm winds forecast, look to be spectacular. We are looking at an epic weekend to be up at Ole's skiing way. I hope to see you all up here.

Nice cold start to the day with a fresh dusting of snow on the trails overnight. Things are in really nice condition. We have been able to get the woods of #5 open as the logging has been completed It is looking pretty good in there. The entrance of #5 Woods off the Junction of #2 right down the hill from the building is pretty rough for the first 100 ft or so. Be cautious as you enter.
The rest of the #5 woods is looking pretty darn nice all things considered. All other core trails are in excellent condition.
#5 BEST SKIED BY RETURNING FROM VIA THE WOODS AND HEADING OUT FROM THE SKI CENTER.
The outer loop, trails #6, #9 and #10 were rolled out yesterday. Reports were that it was really nice down there. As usual watch the downhill sections and ski with caution. Outer loop for advanced skiers only. Fresh grooming this morning on some of the inner core trails. Everything else should ski really nicely with a little bit of fresh on them.
Come up and enjoy VT skiing at it's finest. See you all up here.

It snowed and snowed and snowed yesterday. I measured a few times through out the day yesterday. With the cold, 10 degree and below temps, the snow has some serious fluff factor. It settled under its own weight but I would say 20 inches of snow fell yesterday. It is winter magic out there. A deep layer of Colorado Dry, Champagne Powder blankets Vermont's fields and forests.
Trails are combing out nicely and all core trails including #1 should be done around 9 OR 10 AM or so. With fresh classic tracks set. The outer loop, trails #6,#9 and #10 is next on the menu. I am hoping to get that packed out/groomed by the afternoon. A really epic stretch of winter weather and skiing through the foreseeable forecast. The time is now to get your ski on. See you up here.
