We are happy to announce that all trails at Grand Avenue are open and groomed classic and skate. Overlook and Deer Stand, our only natural snow trails, were last to be packed, corded and tracked, thanks to three recent snowfalls. However, they will see limited grooming as all that snow was soft and airy, and will not withstand daily grooming. The remaining machine-made trails will be groomed daily. Pictured is Deer Stand.

Went to Spirit after discovering Magney wasn't groomed, hoping it would be good after the extra 3 inches yesterday. It had a skied in track. We skied the 3k and campground. Pole plants were very soft and went down quite far.

I skated upper spirit Tuesday finding the conditions to be quite good! I did use my B soft skis and it was perfect. There was just a little bit of brown and leaves popping through here and there on the 3K and a couple K of the 10K that were groomed. A nice track was set as well. The campground loop is my absolute favorite because it is always immaculate and the terrain is just so much fun forcing you to vary your technique making you feel like a gazelle. Get out and pack that snow in!

Snow depth varies from 2 to 5 inches, is very soft and debris loaded from the heavy winds that came with our snowstorm. I'm waiting for more snow to thicken all this sugar into something groomable. BC skiers will find these conditions to their liking.
