Beautiful frosty day on tap with sunshine. Just a few flakes of snow overnight. Select trails are open for skiing after a couple inches of dense snow Friday evening/Saturday morning and daily grooming.
Early season conditions, watch for rough spots, areas of thin cover and unmarked obstacles but skiable on select trails. Recommended skiing on Sukkerbusk for no track classic skiing and Skaters Waltz for skating. To bypass the long hills on Skaters Waltz which have a rough spot on the long hill to Bullhead bay, use the end of Sap Run as a connector to make a loop of Skaters Waltz. The other trails groomed need a bit more snow before open to skiing but is good to pack and level the existing snow before it begins to dry out and settle. Please do not skate on trails packed for classic.Skating on Skaters Waltz only.
Trails are closed to hiking at this time to preserve the base. Fat biking allowed on side of Skaters Waltz to access singletrack as part of the “FatLagChilada” course.
Sunday we packed on the western trails and Monday we cleared and packed on the northern trails. All the trail have now been packed. No further grooming until more snow. We are hauling snow to rough spots on the start area and Skaters Waltz the remainder of the week and grooming out those areas.
