Winter returns! Snow moving in on the weekend with 6-7″ of fresh powder. Just a sprinkling of snow over night as the bulk of the Sunday storm staying south of us. A little bit of wind this afternoon but overall a great day on the trails. Monday grooming planned on trails groomed Saturday and will set a singletrack on Twin Lakes for Monday and Tuesday skiing which should be great days to ski!

Grooming this morning on Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run setting track. Saturday grooming on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk and JibFly setting track. Skate ski grooming on 4km loop of Skaters Waltz. Very tricky grooming on the segments ice base underneath making it difficult for traction and multiple times getting stuck but overall the trails groomed out very nice! For the most part the snow is skiing like mid winter, strong sun might soften the snow otherwise doesn’t get much better for mid March! Just Ski.

Very tricky grooming with some segments ice base underneath making it difficult for traction and multiple times getting stuck but otherwise trails groomed out very nice. Chance of snow tonight, will be back out in the morning grooming the same trails regardless of any new snow or not and track additional trail like Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run. Will also touch up trails groomed today, for Monday and Tuesday skiing. For the most part the snow is skiing like mid winter and doesn’t get much better for mid March. Just Ski.

Winter returns! Around 3-4″ of snow overnight. We hope to groom around 10km of trail on Saturday afternoon to have the trails open for skiing Saturday afternoon and Sunday to Wednesday. If additional snow, as forecasted, Saturday evening, we will groom again Sunday morning. Based on the coverage on the trails before the snow, we would most likely groom portions of Sukkerbusk, Skaters Waltz and all of North Loup for a 10km loop for both skate and classic.

Trails are now closed to skiing and fat biking. We did receive a dusting of snow Monday night but the base has deteriorated in areas making for very icy and unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. Thanks to the skiers this past week and weekend that braved the challenging conditions with a positive Just Ski attitude! If we receive enough new snow and sustained cold weather, we will groom the trails and open again, possibly early next week…..stay tuned!
