Deep into Winter

February 08, 2026

    We are deeply into winter here in East Warren, VT. Old school temps with excellent and abundant old school snow conditions. Just right for cross country skiing, where you build your own heat through kicking and gliding.

    Just a tad chilly out there this morning. Currently about 10 below with a little bit of wind. Cold yes but beautiful too. Clean, crisp Arctic Air and dry powder in abundance.

   I am making my rounds grooming this morning and skiers can expect all core trails to be buffed out with tracks re set once again by around 10AM. Trails #9 and #10 were groomed out yesterday with the big groomer and #6 was groomed out yesterday with tracks set from #4 to the #7 junction .

     I have combed out the fields sections on the beginning of #9 and #6 once again this am. The heart of #6, down the big hill and along the brook were groomed with tracks set a few days ago. It will ski well with a bit of pow on top.

   Temps are forecast to rise to around 5 degrees by mid morning and to almost double digits by mid afternoon Winds are supposed to decrease as the day progresses. When you come up, dress warm, bring your neck gaiter or balaclava. A bit of skiing,then coming in to enjoy the wood stove, hot drinks and soup, then doing a little more skiing is a great strategy for today. Ski smart, ski safe and check in.

   The week ahead looks to be getting better and better with some snow potential for later in the week. See you up here.
