Trails are open! Beautiful sunny day, feels a bit more like January with mid teens for temps and a breeze from the north. Freezing down hard overnight which allowed us to groom this morning. Skate loop renovated and combed and tracks renovated and reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. A bit chunky but still decent skiing. Also fresh track set on Twin Lakes and JibFly which groomed out really nice. With a melty day Sunday and a refreeze, tracks are a bit faster but grooming pulling up drier/sugary snow. Looks to be below freezing all day today which should make all day good skiing. Watch for sticky areas in the afternoon if sun stays out.

A great Easter morning of skiing. Awesome seeing so many people out…thank you! A full day of packing and grooming Saturday compressing the heavy wet snow that dried out nicely late afternoon. Sunday was above freezing most of the afternoon so grooming put on hold.

We will plan to have the trails open until Wednesday but if it looks to be skiable beyond that we will remain open. Considering the time of year, best to get out as early as possible during the day for best conditions. Monday should be good most of the day unless sun comes out in the afternoon. Not sure how things will groom out moving forward but always enjoy the opportunity and challenge to make conditions as best as possible! Just Ski.

Winter Returns! Nearly a foot of heavy dense snow as of 6pm Saturday. 3-4″ of snow Thursday evening. Very tricky snow to pack and groom but able to set track on Sukkerbusk and Sap Run. Also packed, groomed and combed a 3km loop of Skaters Waltz. End of the day everything turned out nice and was really nice skiing late afternoon. Pretty incredible for April. Should be great skiing early Sunday morning before it warms up. Best to get out before noon, earlier the better! Just Ski.

Nice to see a few folks out enjoying the late season skiing and grooming Friday morning! A 4km loop (no track set) consisting of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk, using Sap Run as a connector groomed also Sap Run and JibFly for classic skiing. Not quite enough snow to set a good track with no base underneath. It is important to have the skis waxed properly for the best skiing experience, especially if above 32 degrees. Enjoy the late season snow and Just Ski! 

The mornings it has froze down this past week allowed us to get on trail and cut firewood for next season!

Winter Returns! 4″ of new snow as of Thursday evening. Nice to see a few folks out enjoying the late season skiing and grooming this morning! A 4km loop (no track set) consisting of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk, using Sap Run as a connector groomed yesterday and this morning. This loop can be skied both directions. Also groomed and set track on Sap Run and also packed out JibFly for classic skiing. Not quite enough snow to set a good track with no base underneath. However,  the trails will be open for skiing today through Tuesday! Best to ski in the morning or later afternoon when cooler. The ground is warm underneath, some rough spots but for early April it’s not too bad! It is important to have the skis waxed properly for the best skiing experience, especially if above 32 degrees. Enjoy the late season snow and Just Ski!  We will continue grooming through the weekend and most likely until Tuesday looking at the forecast.
