Trails are open. Beautiful late season skiing today. All the classic trails we have been grooming this week had a fresh reset late afternoon today. The wind was blowing good this afternoon but not as much debris came down as we expected and drifting only in a few areas. Should be real nice skiing on Wednesday. Best skiing will be before noon. Skaters Waltz has seasoned nicely and skiing very well for skating. Total snowfall over the weekend around a foot. We are grooming 20-25km of trail at the moment for end of season skiing.
Please park across from the Brant for parking. We have not plowed out the far lot after the most recent snow.
Trails to be groomed for classic include Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Twin Lakes and the side of North Loup.
Trails to be groomed for skate include Skaters Waltz. North Loup will be groomed skate starting next week. Since temps look favorable for continued good classic skiing through the weekend, we will continue grooming North Loup classic only.
As we transition to spring skiing be aware of possible variable conditions mid day if sunny or temps near or above freezing this time of year. Waxing can make for much better ski experience, even if you have no wax skis the fish scale zone will work much better if a paste wax is applied to this area to keep the dry base from attracting the moisture in the snow and icing or sticking on the bottom.
Lot of animals on the move and tons of tracks everywhere, especially on the inner trails. Eagles, grouse, porcupines, fox and pileated woodpeckers some of the wildlife sighted….keep your eyes open!
