We picked up enough snow to get out for the first ski and groom of the year today. The snow was dry and cold thanks to temps in the mid 20's which made for nice skiing and grooming. The ground is still very warm and we groomed around 10km of trail to try and get frost to set up on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Eira Bikwaadina Hill, and the early season loop. We will do what we can to try and have these trails open soon! Great to see white and be grooming and skiing!

26* f above; cloudy skies; light snow showers; up to 2" accumulation of new snow covering trails. We just went out to check some trails to see what was happening. Found the new white snow covering the trails a very welcome sight. With the rain we had yesterday we do have a few puddles here and there but overall very nice. With colder temps in the forecast it will really help freeze up the ground.
