Successful Race Yesterday, more beautiful skiing today

January 09, 2026

An absolutely beautiful morning after a very successful race yesterday afternoon/evening. We had over 70 skiers from 5 different schools grace Ole's race loop with their very impressive skiing skills.

   We could not have picked a better day. The sun was out, temps were warm. A stark contrast to last years cold temps and very blustery conditions.

     With temps in the 30's I anticipated the snow pack becoming soft and mushy but it did not. The snow surface remained firm but softened nicely on top and was full of some serious glide. Skiers were ripping around the course and it sure was a pleasure to see.

   Thanks for all the competitors and the coaches for coming up. We look forward to having you all up here again.

       Trails are in great shape out there. Temps will be comfy again today. Some rain tonight to endure but the forecast for the weekend shows snow!

    This is proving to be yet another great winter here at Ole's XC. I hope everyone can come up and utilize these wonderful trails that the legend Ole mapped out over 55 years ago.

   See you all up here.

Gonna be a great weekend.......Again!
