Jan.30, 2019 - Brrrrrr.

North Plateau Trail this afternoon

It's a sunny but bitterly cold and windy day here. The remainder of the trails have been groomed this morning, but with the strong westerly wind some open areas will drift in quickly. Skiing is good, but don't get frostbite!

Mainline Trail near Central Park

Jan. 29, 2019 - Late afternoon update

Our snowfall yesterday amounted to between 15 and 20 cm. of beautiful powder. I have groomed about 75% of the trails this afternoon - rolling and combing only; no track set yet. I hope to groom the rest of the trails tomorrow. Skiing is good, but be careful about the temperature; the next couple of days are predicted to be very cold.

Finally, plenty of snow

With about 20 cm of new snow from Monday's storm, we now have good coverage in most areas. Because of the wind, some spots may still be blown bare, while others will be drifted deep. It will take me some time to get this snow groomed. In the meantime, we have pretty good "backcountry" conditions.

Monday, Jan. 28 - off again, on again

The roller coaster continues, as we have again received some new snow, and skiing is again possible. The snowfall overnight Saturday into Sunday brought us about 5 cm of new powder. However, it was accompanied by winds, so the coverage is not uniform. Some open areas may be blown off nearly bare, while others will have deeper drifts. I would consider the skiing to be fair only.
The forecast says we will get a significant snowfall later today and into tomorrow. I will try to groom as soon as I can after the snowfall stops.

Fri. Jan. 25 - On again, off again

Wednesday's warm temperatures and rain resulted in a loss of snow cover on our trails. We now have significant bare patches, and the remaining snow is tending toward ice. I would not recommend skiing in these conditions.

Jan. 20: We have skiing

Saturday's snowfall brought us just enough snow that skiing is now possible. Snow depth ranges from 5 to 10 cm. All trails are now skiable. The skiing is not what I would call "good" but it's tolerable. I have groomed about half the network, concentrating mainly in the central section, with some in the south.
Temperatures are very cold and the wind is strong from the northwest, so if you come, be sure to dress well and keep your skin covered.

Trail #10, Sunday afternoon.

Jan. 19, 2019 - No skiing

We have received a few cm of new snow over the past couple of days, but it is still not sufficient for skiing. Sorry folks, this has been a really bad year so far.
