We will be grooming this morning but waiting for more snow to fall for best conditions. Trails will be ready by 11am.

Everything groomed for skating. No classic track yet. Stay posted.

Where have all the groomers gone...? You may be wondering how it can happen that it's almost mid-January and not a single track has been set on WBC ski trails. After the early snow was roller packed, there was (and still is) a fantastic base on which the skiing ha...

Side X side tracks lower valley entered off bear to squirrel then wolf trail up hill to wolf lower trail entry.  These tracks damaged the trail requiring repairs to top of base.  Additional tracks off deer onto upper wolf but not too damaging.

Crew was on the trails today packing the recent snow. No tracks set at this time as sticks and leaves were coming to the surface. Still need a little more snow in the treed areas.
