We had a weekend of excellent skiing, in fact a whole week of it, and the trails stood up well to yesterday’s mild. We have a solid base and the only icy section is the short ski before the hut. The snow came too late for us to groom today. The thin layer of fresh [...]

 Today will be the last session for Jack Rabbit and Track Attack programs, despite the slow start to the season and a few weekend storms we still managed to get 7 sessions in this season. We will start today at 2pm as normal but finish off with a bonfire, roast some weiners and marshmellows and hand [...]

With all the traffic on the softening trails yesterday afternoon it was necessary to groom overnight. Terry Nippard had the Piston Bully out at 4 am putting the trails back in shape. He groomed the Black, Lower Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Pink, Brown, and Gold trails. Conditions should be excellent this morning; you won’t have to [...]

Terry Cuff accompanied by Roy groomed the Black, Red, Green, & Purple late last night. These trails should be in perfect shape today. Yesterday was probably the best skiing of the year on the Gold, and the other trails groomed yesterday morning were in excellent shape. Conditions today should be ideal for both classic and [...]

Yesterday Jim raked the Red, Green and Blue as he picked up all the barriers, signs and pylons from the race course .These trails should be in good shape today. Last night the Purple was in fantastic shape for both skating and classic. It was fast and firm but you could get a good edge [...]

The registration for the Gander Invitational on Sunday has picked up in the last 24 hours. It’s exciting to see such a big contingent from St. John’s and the good representation from lots of other communities. If at all possible, don’t wait till the last minute to register. We don’t want to run out of [...]

Please stay off the trails Friday. The hut will not be opened. The warm temperature all day and overnight Thursday and the even higher temps plus rain forecast for Friday will make the trails particularly vulnerable to damage from deep ski and foot prints. Friday night will bring a quick cool down which will allow [...]
