Click here for current Environment Canada forecast.   If skiing or snowshoeing, dress for it, watch each other for frostnip, don't ski alone, especially on the less well travelled trails. Go no further than you are comfortable walking back to the lodge if your skis/bindings fail. Carry a charged cell phone. Use the main lodge to put your boots on, and take warm up breaks.

With the generous recent depth addition to the snow, it is was relatively easy to execute some Signature Grooming of the trails on Tuesday.  The continuing cool temperatures, & reduced traffic, means the quality of the trail snow & tracks is not depreciating. Doing any grooming today would not measurably enhance your skiing experience. It would just serve to shorten the life of the snow. The aggresive action of tilling with lowers the snow quality & workabililty of the snow every pass that the snowcat makes on the trails. Therefore, we are officially declaring today another  Grooming Free Day, and potentially, another tomorrow.

NOTE: This grooming report may not be updated for a day or 2. However, if there are green lines on the map, then grooming has been done in the last 24 hours.

SKATE:  Excellent +++.
