Skiing has been good the past 3 mornings. Yesterday afternoon the temp was up to +13, overnight it rained and the temp dropped only to +2, but the skiing was surprisingly good this morning with fairly fast snow until 11 am. The Red, Lower Blue and Purple have lots of snow with only a few [...]

Terry finished grooming around midnight. We still have a good base and the trails are amazingly clean for this time of year. Should be excellent skiing in the morning. The temperature fell to only -1 overnight so ski early to get the best skating. Good conditions for classic might last longer. There’s not a lot [...]

No grooming but the fresh snow from Tuesday night has left a soft covering on the trails. At 8:30 am the glide was decent though it was slowing down in some places and will likely get a lot slower as the sun gets higher. No problem to get in a good ski but a lot [...]
