Fantastic snow and skiing conditions. Another 2-3″ of new snow the past 24 hours. Today we will be hosting the Section 8 Nordic ski championships. The trails not used in the races will be open for skiing but be aware parking may be limited. Best options is taking Sukkerbusk to the west to access the western or northern trails for 38km of classic skiing options. Skate trails are closed for the races today. All other trails open, new snow on top of the most recent grooming.

Grooming update: Thursday and Friday we will be grooming the entire trail system for the weekend. Whatever the weather, we are ready to groom at anytime to have the best possible conditions every day.

Nature Notes: Wildlife has been active the last few weeks. We have been seeing porcupines along the snowshoe trail and Roy’s Run. We have also seen hawks, owls near JibFly and North Star, fox, deer of course, pileated woodpeckers and tons of tracks.
