A great weekend on the trails with fantastic ski conditions. Quite the contrast to temps earlier in the week……almost 70 degree difference! Warm temps and intense sunshine on Sunday softening the snow on the south facing slopes. Tracks glazing down again at night. At dusk we groomed the trails for today’s ski meet, Sap Run, Sukkerbusk (first par to left), Mother North Star and Sap Run. Races will run from 10am to 4:30pm on the above trails. All other trails open to skiing. Watch for a few icy glazed areas on south facing but should soften quickly with warm temps expected in the afternoon. Recommended trails to ski include North Loup and the western trails.

Tracks and signs of wildlife everywhere. A few more porcupines visible from the trails. The local fox has been sighted by skiers which is neat to hear after seeing it on the trails cams the past month. It has been sighted near the end of Mother North Star trail. Porcupines have been sighted off Mother North Star and Roy’s Run trails, about 1/3rd the way in on both trails. Lots of other tracks including deer, wolf, coyote, pine marten, fox, and beaver to name a few. Also look for the new and active eagle nest at the start of Island Lake trail. You can also see the nest at the top of “eagle view” at the top of the last downhill on Twin Lakes trail. Many birds also to keep an eye for including the swooping pileated woodpecker.
