Good morning,
Sunny skies expected to start the day off with wind picking up in the afternoon as a round of weather rolls in tonight. A few inches of snow are predicted coming in early tomorrow morning hopefully giving a slight refresh to the trails we have left.
For today headed out to run a loop to grind up some hard snow so we have something fresh this morning with additional upper trails still on pretty good shape just a bit firm first thing in the morning until things soften up.
See you on the trails.
Enjoy
Update after consulting with our grooming team and Nordic center.
“Due to unprecedented weather and trail conditions we are restricting skiing to Travis and Bamse today. We would highly suggest not skiing today as the trails are saturated and will not be enjoyable anyway. With our low snowpack skiing on the trails with the given conditions would have the potential to damage our very thin base to the point where we won’t be able to repair it for the rest of the season. Please consider other options for your outdoor activities today. This is unfortunate but if we can all stay off the trails in the short term we’ll hopefully still have good trails to ski later this season. Thank you for your understanding. Please call the Nordic Center if you have further questions. Stay tuned for more information.”
Update after grooming some this morning.
The new snow we got was pretty warm and had a lot of moisture in it as well as the underlying surface snow still has not dried out all the way so we only ran a handful of loops and will let other trails rest a little longer to dry out some more.
See you out there.
Enjoy
Trail status update from today,
We do still have skiing if your willing to walk a bit. Access from Nordic is from Gaskill around the reservoir out to blue ridge. You can park at Stillwater road and walk/access on silvers also top of cabin road near nine mile on Sleepy hollow. High caution advisory on the way down to top of mill gulch as much of this is extremely thin and icy so I would highly recommend walking down the hills. Once past this section snow is much better and can go all the way around to one way Cranmer to blue ridge.
Use extra caution and have fun, see you on the trails.
