I am just coming from checking trails and packing. The 4 inches of new snow on top of the 14 inches is helping build the base but the ground remains warm and our challenge is removing the trees and branches from the trails to be able to quickly groom the trails to freeze the base. We have about 10 k cleared after 3 days with crews working.  We hope to have 10 k or more skiable for Friday but it is weather dependent. My 22 years of experience say it is very likely we will be open Friday for 15 km of skiing. We will continue to work on the other 60 k of trails, Any volunteers that want to clip bent over branches or remove broken branches from the trails please contact me. You will need snowshoes and appropriate clothing. No chain saw work due to insurance requirements.
