Good morning Mt. Spokane Nordic skiers. Captain Ginge here with the latest grooming report.

Great conditions out there right now—we’re continuing to open up more trails, and it’s finally starting to look and feel like proper winter. Snow quality is good: nice and consistent, holding an edge well, with solid decks for both classic and skate.

Still need more snow to really bulk up the base everywhere, but happy to report things are trending the right direction.

Tamarama, Quartz Mountain, Silver, and Larch still have some thin spots here and there—totally skiable, just be mindful and maybe dial back the speed a touch on those sections. The dreaded tiller rut has reared its ugly head near the bottom of Tamarama—not huge, but worth keeping an eye out for so you don’t catch an edge.

a few spots the track sets got a bit squirly in the corners, we had some equipment issues early on that delayed todays launch so I had to turn up the speed a bit which it's always a trade off if quality vs quantity. 

That said, I'm pleased to say that you should definitely come ski. Conditions are pretty sweet overall so get out and enjoy it while it’s this good.

We’ll keep pushing to open and maintain as much as we can. Thanks for the support, and keep those snow dances going if you’ve got ’em.

Be well,

Captain Ginge
