Winter returns! Around a foot of snow the past two days. We are grooming on 4km of ski trail on a loop consisting of the east side of Skaters Waltz and Sukkerbusk. We have been just packing the snow. If we get a few more inches and the temperature cools down later afternoon, we will try and set a track on the side of this loop. Snow is a bit slow and sticky, proper wax helps but fun to have a late season blast of winter.

We will also be grooming a 9km loop for fat biking utilizing the west Twin Lakes singletrack and ski trail. With freezing nights forecasted, we should have skiable and rideable snow until Sunday morning. If enough snow to set a track on the side of this loop, we will do that. Fat biking in the mornings to preserve the snow for days moving forward.

This week we have been working on the trails in the morning when the ground is frozen, cutting deadfall off the side of the trail and getting blocks to split for firewood for the saunas etc. The frost is still in the ground and will be a month or so until fully dried out. The ice on Little Sugarbush lake is over 12″ with no melting off the edges. We anticipate the ice off mid April. 

 Bike trails will open when the frost goes out, typically mid to late April.
