Trails are open. Springlike conditions. Soft and slower skiing today. Warming a few degrees during the night with temperature holding around 34 degrees. High temperature today hovering around 35 degrees with no recorded precipitation. Despite the mild temps, the snow and trails are holding out well and was a busy day on the trail with a “just ski” attitude by the day skiers.
We will keep the trails open since there are guests staying at the resort but holding off on any grooming until it freezes down again to avoid compressing the snow too much and having it turn to boiler plate when it cools down again. Expect variable conditions, mostly softer but very skiable. Saturday skiing could be a bit faster and icy like if it freezes down as forecasted. Fat bike trails closed until it freezes down again.
Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Also possible to skate ski the last part of Bullhead lake trail as out out and back. Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!
We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th. 18″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 3-5″. Snow depth in woods 6-10″
