January 24

 This is Day 37 of skiing this season.

The trails were busy yesterday, under sunshine and blue skies. Consequently, the little bit of new snow that we had is now pretty packed down. Skiing should still be fair to good today. I will not be grooming today, as there is really nothing I can do to make things better. We could still use a good snowfall of at least 10 cm, but it doesn't look like that is coming anytime soon.

We're currently sitting at -8, with a predicted high of -3, so it should be comfortable for skiing.

I occasionally have people contact me seeking clarification on our location. The trail access and parking area is on the 5 Side Road of the TOWN OF MONO, about a half km east of Airport Road. The turn-off from Airport Road is just 3.4 km north of Hwy. 9 (the village of Mono Mills). If you are inputting the location into a GPS device, it is important to specify MONO; otherwise, it may direct you to a 5 Sideroad in a different township altogether.

Here are a couple of photos from yesterday:

Trail #9 - The Pasture

Trail # 12 - Southfield

UPDATE: I changed my mind and did a little bit of grooming on the drifted sections of Southfield (#12), Mainline, and North Field (#17). It should be easier to find the trail there now.
