It's been a phenomenal week on the trails grooming and skiing. Weather has been perfect and the trails are taking shape and skiing superb for early season thanks to great work by the grooming crew. Approximately 85km of trail open for the weekend. 15km groomed separately for skate, 22km groomed separately with tracks set, 25km groomed/combed separately for no track classic skiing, 5km separate for bushwhacking, and 20km groomed separately for fat biking. No ski rental available or lodge services until December 13th. Just Ski.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Most, ]

9" of new snow the past 24 hours. I went out yesterday evening grooming on 15km of trail after 3" had fallen. Today my son Jens and I spent most of the day packing, rolling and combing. I went for a ski after grooming skate skiing on Skaters Watlz, Sap Run, Suicide hill and a few connectors using my best skis. Grooming plans: We will be grooming on the entire 80km trail system this week, packing and combing. We also plan on grooming the fat bike loops later this week. At this time no tracks are set. Trails are open to season pass holders and team members. No services available at this time -- the resort will open on December 13th for full services.

We woke up to 5-6" of snow on the ground after 8" had fallen in a 24 hour period. We groomed an out and back segment on Sukkerbusk to the bottom of Suicide Hill than back. With nearly 2" of rain before the snow, it was key to stay on ridges and high ground with so many low spots holding water. Went out skiing later and was probably the best October ski I can ever remember. This is actually saying a lot since we have had skiable snow 8 out of the last 11 Octobers. Pretty surreal to be skiing in fall color when a few days ago we were mountain biking in short sleeves! Snow continues to fall and should be decent early season skiing for another 24 hours before it melts off. Lot of branches and trees folding over with the initial heavy wet snow.
