Happy Tuesday, Nords! We’re greeted this morning with a gentle cloud cover and moderate temps. It’s currently a balmy 36°F at the lodge, with a predicted high of 48°F estimated for the afternoon. Overnight temperatures hovered right around freezing, providing a snow temp of 26°F/-3°C that churned out a firm and fast, yet grainy groom among the trees. Today is trending on the cooler side, so the trails are able to maintain their structure later into the day. The groom team has reset skate corduroy and classic tracks on the Uppers (Green: beginner) and many of the Middles (Blue: intermediate) sans Rich’s Range; and Easy Back is a shorter loop through the PPP cut-through. Woody’s is a short section to junction 12, connecting with Easy Back. Upper Jay’s Way by the lodge is closed, but the backside connecting Dan's Drop is open. The Lowers (Black: advanced) need a substantial refresh of snow to reopen. Be aware of thinning conditions out there with low snow and exposed terrain. For a gentle frolic in the forest, check out our snowshoe trails! We have several kilometers of trails to satisfy your wandering souls! Bring your own or rent from our wide array of snowshoes to fit the whole family!
