Category: Ski Conditions

With a Gray Weather statement, (not our favored Yellow Snow warning), with lots of rain, warmth, and southerly winds, even this eternal optimist is looking elsewhere to ski. Things were pretty nice this morning though with a great track beyond

Bucky headed out an hour or so ago to beautify things. Plans are to groom Crooked Tree Trail and other sparsely covered areas flat but most areas beyond Doncaster Pond should be trackable. Since most of the snow was exposed

Yesterday’s snowfall brought the optimists out in force. The day was most pleasant and the skiing like early season conditions with no grooming and scant coverage under the conifers but good coverage due to remaining snow on much of the

Yesterday was a glorious day in the woods and today should follow suit. There was still a lot of snow, no bare areas, some track left in some places, lots of debris initially but mostly gone by the end of

With the impending warmth, ski conditions are set to change, likely for the worse, over the next few days. At present the track remains in good shape and late yesterday glide was 3/4 but will quickly slow down by early

Bucky has headed for the hills, hopefully to make very skiable what is at present pretty glazed, fast and rutted. Expect “good” glide at 2.5-3/4 and grip should be fine with wax working for those traditional “lazy” skiers like this

It will be a pleasantly lazy day on the trails with not much glide and possible sticking, which seems least likely on skins pretreated with liquid glide wax. Quarry Road has been plowed. I have yet to see the carnage

Things will start out as they ended yesterday with glide 1/4 but this will improve as temps warm to 2-2.5. Grip will be fine. Sticking is possible especially out of track as temps approach zero, which will happen sooner in

Bucky groomed most trails late yesterday- most will be hard to tell because the flurries finally arrived during his labours. The least flurried will be the Red, Lollipop and CTTrail which may have a glide of 2.5/4, the rest will

Karin reports trails are icey and very fast. Likely best to wait for an hour or more of flurries, or grooming late today.
