Back to skiing

The rain stopped about 10:30 and we had about 40 skiers out today. Conditions were quite good for the temps of 39 and after a few hours of rain. The thick snow base absorbed the rain and the trail stayed firm and not icy because of the temps. I am headed out tonight to regroo again with the PB and we will be out in the AM regrooming. I am expecting some pretty good spring skiing for Sunday….our last day of the season.

Rain

After 2 months of snow and nice temps it was hard to get up to rain this morning. 35 and rain. We are open for skiing and we groomed some of the trails last night but it does not look like it will be good skiing. If it changes I will update later or you can call.

Another nice day of Spring Skiing

Our last skiers of the day enjoying the spring skiing

We had a nice day of spring skiing agin today. Even the temps are up to the hi 30’s and today 47, the skiing is firm and fun. With the Pisten bully we are able to provide a nice skiable surface for spring skiing. We groomed about 40 k today and have 60 k open for skiing. We are open Sat and Sunday closing for the season April 1.

Spring skiing

It was very good spring skiing today….nice skating in the AM, trails staying firm until about noon; then about an inch of  sinking over a firm base. Classic tracks stayed firm this afternoon but some were icy this early AM.  Make sure to check conditions at trailhead before skiing…conditions change fast and the trail conditions board in the cabin, or  the desk attendant can assist you with conditions at the time you are skiing. No bare spots…2 feet of snow base!

Spring skiing with the Clydesdales

I had a nice ski with the Cldesdales tonight for the last ski of the season with the wednesday night group. The warmer temps are changing the snow from dry powder to corn. This can be a blast to ski with the warm temps. Skate skiers like it in the morning on the fresh hard cord and classic skiers like it in the afternoon as the sun softens the track. All 70 km are open and we have been grooming about 30 km every day so make sure to check in the chalet for the grooming report. We plan to be open through Sunday at 5 PM.
