Manmade 1.8 km Loop open and well groomed this morning. Lots of deer out on the trail this morning putting bumps in the snow, but nice to have some company. Nice to have another hill. Turn at far south end of loop a bit icy on the inner part of the bend.

Man made loop was 1.8 k today not 1.2 as yesterday. Perfect skate skiing. Well groomed. Track for classic as well. Good crowd even at 6 am!

Elm Creek opened up another section of trail so it is now 1.9/2.0k. The trail was perfect as it always is at 6:00 am. Skin skis were working well at 33 degrees.

The 1.2k trail at Elm Creek is absolutely beautiful. It is best in the morning as it was starting to feel a bit slowish at 10:00am already. Stay on the artificial snow - while the Northern Lights looks tempting it is rock skis only. That is, literally skiing on rocks in there. Lots of happy folks out this morning!

The small loop from the chalet to the practice area and the North Donut (1.2 km) was groomed for skate and classic. Remarkable good condition. Snow guns running on both the tubing hill and remainder of the Valley Loop.

Approximately 1.2K of ski trails will open at noon on Monday, November 21st. No ski rentals at this time.

Snow making in progress and chalet staff mentioned early in coming week will open.

Snow cannons are going and snow is piling up but not groomed.

Blowin' and plowin'... I think we'll be skiing soon. Lots of snow made.

On a drive by today. No snow blowing going on as it was too warm. They have graded and spread the piles out. With the cold weather coming I wouldn't be surprised if the initial 1.25 K loop is open next week.
