Coldest morning of the season with 7am temp checking in at -24.5. No wind, clear skis folks still getting out for a before smorgasbord ski! No reason not to ski today with a great conditions. Bundle up proper and enjoy sunshine, warming temps, nice tracks and fresh snow from the January 6th/7th snow event ! (Maplelag 40-60 miles from the big snow!)
Big day of grooming on Friday with around 50km of trail groomed. All trails we have been grooming this season groomed as well as track set on Wavy Gravy and Island lake for the first time this year. Overall the track set nice and good skiing on Island and Wavy. Caution in between Twin lakes as still a bit rough, didn’t groom there there. Grooming Saturday morning on the skater trails. All other classic trails groomed Friday in great shape for the weekend! Bundle up and enjoy!

Total snowfall since December 15th=12″, compacted base on trail 3-5″. Overall the trails have good coverage, a few rough spots on the marsh/lake crossings to use caution, especially on Bullhead trail. Ski with caution and enjoy! Total snowfall since December 1st, 18″.
