The warmth of spring has officially arrived! We will no longer be grooming the snowmaking trails. Thank you to all of you who skied our trails this winter and thank you for your feedback on this forum. We look forward to next year and will be excited to start the snowguns again in Fall! Cheers!

Snow and grooming was excellent at Worth this morning. Very fast corn snow. The top layer was just starting to melt when I left at 10:00. There is plenty of snow left on most of the trail and it is still pretty clean. There is water draining across the trail going into Twin Lakes and coming out, but it wasn't a big problem this morning. There is also a big dirt spot forming just before going into the lower stadium, however that is still easy to avoid.

Been out skiing between 6-7am each day this week. At that time it is quite icy, and today very much so. The snow is getting dirty, and there are a few risky spots. There is quite a canal opening up near the gate going into Twin Lake, and a bit of a pond by the gate coming out the other side. I noticed a small hole opening up on Ridgeline coming back down to lower stadium. It looked like it could develop into something bad. I can see the groomers are trying to keep up patching these spots, but the water overtakes the effort.

Blue skies, bright sun, shorts and t-shirt spring skiing at its best! Wasn't sure it would be worth the trip but it definitely was. I was out 1130-1 and it was getting soft by the end but still decent glide. Mid morning is probably the best window and it looks like there should be plenty of snow yet.

Great grooming and beautiful first full day of Spring at Theo Wirth this morning. Skied around 10 am. Only a few people around. Thank you groomers for today and whole season!

Beautiful grooming and sunshine this morning! My B skis were running really fast despite no wax since 24 Hours of Wirth, so thank you, groomers!

Trail is down to a 2 mile loop. Still a foot or more of base but starting to get dirty. I didn't see any ice. It was good conditions for my little one.

As announced, yesterday Wirth shortened the available skiing, but left a roughly 4K course still open. Today I found an unannounced closure of all points past Coaches Corner. Some people were skiing backwards over the Bridge to access the Upper Stadium and Trail 18, but it was ungroomed. There wasn't much trail left; I was disappointed.

I couldn't make it out in the morning, so by the time I got to Theo it had transformed quite a bit at 42 degrees! The trail had also seen a lot of activity! I enjoyed skiing the different routing of the trails. The season continues, but probably not much longer ...
