Another beauty of a day on the trails. It looks like the maintenance and grooming crews have been very busy. Everything is open again now and Pisten Bully groomed with the exception of the Lookout Trail, where downed trees still need to be removed. There is also the hundred or so open acres adjacent to the Meadows Trail, which was still fantastic for crust skiing just after noon today.

Almost 48 hours of contiuous snow (no ice or rain) Tuesday and Wednesday dumped about 60cm on the trails at Kamview. Snow depth off trail varies, but is over a meter in most areas. Trail crews were out last night clearing downed trees and grooming. As of noon Thursday, about 15km is open and groomed with the Pisten Bully. Conditions for both skate and classic on these trails are excellent. The snow was very dense, so considering the amount, trails are very firm and had set up nicely by 10am. I would avoid skate skiing late afternoon today, but otherwise expect conditions to get even better as the snow settles, grooming continues, and more trails open up.

Conditions exactly as they should be in January. Minus 22C mid-afternoon, blue skies, deep snow, and perfect tracks.
