The paint arrived Sunday, the primer went down yesterday and the paint was applied today! We put down about 25-40 km of cordoroy “paint” today. We expect the paint to dry “harden ” tonight and will provide a pleasant skiing experience in the AM . Remember there are no classic tracks set and the base is thin early skiing. We are working on shoveling and freezing the southern loops, but from Sulo’s South is close as of today. We hope to have them open soon too.

Humm, they forecast 1 inch last night we got 4 inches, they forecast no new snow till Friday, it is snowing tonight (look at the webcams) thank you unpredictable lake effect snow!
Long day with a crew of 6 today! We received 4 inches of snow at the trail head and old ABR trail system, more like 2.5 inches south towards the Highlands and Windy Ridge. We rolled and Ginzu groomed some of the trails …but most importantly rolling today to freeze the trail especially south. Old ABR has a pretty decent base from the last 4 weeks so the new snow should level out well with the Tuesday AM grooming…no wet spots with the cold temps . We are grooming 80 km of trails but only 1/2 are open for skiing. no tracks yet , we might experiment tomorrow with some tracks…still saying rock skis or B skis, no rentals available yet. We did see some more locals and recreational skiers today.

We picked up a good inch or so of snow overnight. I went out with the Ginzu and combed it this morning, the trail looks much better today and some of the bumps are filling in.
