Saturday 21-December'24
There was a little dampness overnite, but the surface was hard enough to groom. So expect skate lanes groomed. Lots of 1 to 2 day old trackset for the classics. Tigger is reportedly a bit slick, so minimal grip.
CLASSIC: Best bet is Northern Lights and Larch Loop.
.
Hazards: There are a LOT of willows that want to share the trail with you due to the weight of the heavy snow & freezing rain. The groomers have been brushing as much as possible, but it is a time consuming process. Careful on the downhills especially, some of those leaning branches can say Hello! quite aggressively.
Sunday 8-December ’24
The Santa-Ski was a resounding success, by all accounts. From the welcoming Great Cauldron Fire at the parking lot, to the treasure hunt, the tutored Letter-To-Santa writing printing, Swiss Candle lit ski/snowshoe/walk trail (think posts on fire, with lots of smoke!), the personal meet & greet by Santa & Mrs. Claus, hot chocolate at the Grand new & improved firepit shelter, and smores/cookies for all who made the trek: good times! Thanks & a hat tip to Santa for making time in his busy schedule, and for Mrs. Claus doing such a fine job of keeping him organized.

Food Bank: For you generous folks that would like to add to the food bank collection, feel free to put your donation (Non-perishable food, non-food items like baby diapers, toiletries, dish soap, & hygiene products) in the boxes under the Xmas tree in the main lodge.
.
Begging: Do you have a semi-retired BBQ cover that is excess to your needs? If it is looking for a good home, we could use one to protect the 3 burner camp stove, to increase its longevity. Drop it off at the machine shop. Thanks!
CNSC has a year-roundweather station, to help plan your ski-day.
