Trails Open A nice day of skiing on tap. Sunday a bit cooler with a few flakes of snow. NO rain or precipitation on Saturday. Saturday temps staying below freezing with cloud cover keeping the snow consistent. Windy conditions on Friday bringing scattered forest littler to the ski deck but overall good skiing conditions. Grooming bringing up drier snow. Groomer’s choice for today is Mother North Star. We had a snowmobile break down on a uphill on North Star we will get out tomorrow, not in way of ski track, heads up if skiing that trail is all.
We are closed for the season for lodging/ski packages but the trails will remain open for day skiing until a projected date of April 15th, weather and snow conditions permitting.
Grooming Report Daily grooming this week has conditions as good as they can be on the entire trail system. We set a track on Bullhead lake for more skier friendly access to Bullhead/Bootleg (see photos below) We have been grooming daily since December 26th.
Nature Notes: Wildlife has been active the last few weeks. We have been seeing porcupines along the snowshoe trail and Roy’s Run. We have also seen hawks, owls near JibFly and North Star, fox, deer of course, pileated woodpeckers and tons of tracks. Eagle sighted this week near Twin Lakes return at eagle view.
