Tuesday February 11th 7:30am
Good morning and welcome to an absolutely spectacular start to an epic day of winter escapades! There is quite the snappy nip in the air today, however with an emerging sun, clearing skies and calm air, your cozy layers and hearty winter gear will surely be plenty to keep you cozy on the trails. Needless to say, it's a noticeable shift from the spring-like conditions of last month, and shaping up to be one fantastic February!
We start the day at a downright frigid 2* with an afternoon high projected to reach into the upper teens. The snow temp is -15*C / 5*F and comes complete with that distinct cold-snow squeak. Today's groom report features crisp skate corduroy along with deep and firm classic tracks. All of the Upper and most of the Middle trail network were refreshed overnight, with Oli's, Leslie's, Rich's Range, Todd Creek, Waterfall and Maiden's Bluff being the exceptions. With a full groom the previous evening and low ski-traffic on Monday, those trails sporting yesterday's groom should hold well throughout the day. For the snowshoe winter wonderland revelers, we have all 15k of trails packed, posted, and ready for exploration!
It's going to be an amazing day on the mountain, so grab that blue wax and those robust layers. We'll do our part and have the fire crackling and the post ski treats of crispy quesadillas, hot soups and core-toasting beverages at the ready!
