Chilly one today with the temp sitting at zero at the moment, though we should get to a comfortable 17F after noon today and more of one of our favorite forecast phrases: "abundant sunshine." We will be getting into spring-like conditions again soon with a lot of warm days ahead and hope to see folks out here working on their tans while getting in lots of kilometers. Conditions are a loose frozen granular today after weeks of packed powder. Trail crew is out in the PistenBully now and with the extra firm snow needs to be going slower so it will be quality over quantity today with them not having time to get on all trails today. This is definitely the kind of day where you want to pay attention to the real-time GPS-tracked grooming map and trail list here, as the non-groomed trails will be firm, to say the least. The Outdoor Center is open 830AM to 5PM.
 
The Cabin is open 10AM to 330PM. Soups on offer today will start with Chicken Noodle, Beef Chili, and Cream Of Roasted Garlic & Mushroom, though the soup menu is always subject to change. You can also treat yourself to Kaffeehaus baked goods and hot drinks and enjoy catching your breath in our favorite spot. Cabin reminders: (1) the Cabin needs to lock up right at 330PM and (2) the Cabin is cash only.
 
The March Outdoor Center newsletter went out this morning and we hope it found its way to your inbox so you can keep up with all the latest, including learning why the trail is called Skater's Waltz, getting Race to the Cabin news, celebrating Trina for bringing home the hardware once again and Asa for winning the February Cabin Challenge, and much more. If you did not receive it, you can access it here online and you can sign up here to be emailed future newsletters.
