What a day to kickstart the weekend! We have 40km groomed this morning and the trails are packing down nicely. It's "hero" snow - packed soft snow that still ski's fast. You can send the downhills, but if you fall, is soft enough to absorb the impact.
The trails on the East side of the map did not update as they should have last night after grooming. We are working on correcting that. But many trails on that side are groomed!
Cafe is open all day, bar opens at 3pm! We will have the 50km classic on all day.
When this much snow has fallen, it takes many passes and a long time to track-pack and groom each kilometer. Our groomers are out around-the-clock getting trails ready for this weekend. Please be patient if your favorite trail isn't ready and PLEASE remain on the groomed trails so we reduce snowcat-skier interactions :)
Van Norden trailhead has re-opened!
Busy weekend Ahead!
On Friday, we have our season finale of Friday Night Lights From 6-8pm. This weekend is the long awaited "Fastest KM!" The trail will be our newly opened "Klister Master" and will include the "The Plunge". This storm will provide the exact conditions to make this race super fun and safe. The pub will be open for drinks and food - all ages welcome.
Van Norden Update: The Van Norden trailhead has re-opened 2/21!
While we can no longer groom in the meadow due to running water, we were able to groom Bill Patterson West, which bisects the meadow near the trailhead. We have opened TELEGRAPH ONLY on the South side of the meadow for dog use. This will allow skiers with dogs to ski across the meadow, down Telegraph, and access the open dog trails on the East of the Meadow. Summit Crossing, Lincoln Highway, Sheep Pen, etc. We are not grooming a small section of Sheep Pen from the hut to the bridge due to running water. But skiers can easily cross. Please enjoy the available dog trails, we are working very hard to keep them open!
