Firsthand: Freestyle [ ]
|

Conditions: Good. Skate deck a little soft and uneven, but tracks were set up fine. Enough snow for the Pisten Bully....
I never say too much snow, but I could. Good skis can be used...skate deck soft, and uneven, just because of the volume of snow had here, but skiing was like mid-season, and tracks were set up and fine. Can you remember good skiing conditions before Thanksgiving?

Grooming [ ]
|
|
Conditions: After 46 inches of snowfall (since Monday) on the opening day of skiing, the Pisten Bully came out tonight. We have been packing the snow as it falls to freeze the ground and now we are able to take the PB out. We have been getting a foot of snow daily since Monday and we have been grooming all day, every day, since then.
Skiing has been very good, just not real hard for the skaters. Classic skiers can find a fresh track if they arrive after tracksetting. (Photo from Rich Scott)

The trail is really shaping up. We had 6 machines out today preparing and keeping up with the new snow. We are packing 70 km of trail. We will be regrooming again in the morning and setting tracks on 20-40 km of trail depending on how much more snow we get overnight. We are open for skiing from 9 AM to dusk (4:15-4:30) Thursday.

Grooming Scheduling

We are planning on opening Thursday at 9 AM. We have been grooming with a large crew to keep up with the storm and it looks like Thursday we will have about 30-40 km open and in some of the best early season ski conditions we have have seen in years. We set tracks today on the major trails to see how the base was doing and it is looking real nice. One of the groomers skied after work tonight and reported the trail was mid-winter conditions. We just need to freeze down a few trouble areas and we should be good for Thursday morning!
