NORDIC UPDATE 12/17/16

12/17/2016

 
::Co​nditions:: 
 -New snowfall last 24 hours: about 4 inches
 -Base: 3-5 inches
 ::Volunteer Groomer Activity Report:: 
 -Skate: Anchor, Seagull, Jolly Long, Rollercoaster and Telford were groomed with the ginzu.
 -Classic: tracked: Anchor, Seagull, Jolly Long, Rollercoaster, Telford, Seagull Connector, and Sugarbush were tracked.

Comments:  With this new snow the trails are starting to shape up nicely.  The skate deck is starting to level out, and tracks are full depth almost everywhere.

NORDIC UPDATE 12/15/16

12/15/2016

 
::Co​nditions:: 
 -New snowfall last 24 hours: 2-4 inches
 -Base: 3-4 inches
 ::Volunteer Groomer Activity Report:: 
 -Skate: Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Telford were groomed with the ginzu.
 -Classic: tracked: Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Sugarbush were tracked.

Comments: The trails that were groomed are skiing quite well.  There are still a few thin spots, but most are easy to avoid.  The rest of the trails were only rolled.  

CONDITIONS UPDATE 12/15/2016

12/15/2016

 
Conditions on the Hill are shaping up nicely.  We have gotten about a foot of natural snow, and our volunteer snowmaking team is working around the clock, and has put in well over 100 hours so far.  

Unfortunately, the lifts won't be opening this weekend as planned, and we are postponing our opening date until Thursday, December 22nd.  Check our calendar for more details!

Cross country trails being groomed and tracked regularly, please remember to bring your season pass or pay the fee at the trail entrance!

Fat bike trails have not been groomed yet, but we will post updates here as we get them.

NORDIC UPDATE 12/13/16

12/13/2016

 
::Co​nditions:: 
 -New snowfall last 24 hours: 2-4 inches
 -Base: 2-4 inches
 ::Volunteer Groomer Activity Report:: 
 -Skate: Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Telford were groomed with the ginzu.
 -Classic: tracked: Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Telford

Comments: Except for some dirt clods sticking through on super G, the lower entrance of Telford, and the new exit of Rollercoaster, things looked pretty good.

NORDIC UPDATE 12/11/16

12/12/2016

 
::Co​nditions:: 
 -New snowfall last 24 hours: 2 inches
 -Base: 2 inches
 ::Volunteer Groomer Activity Report:: 
 -Skate: We rolled all of the trails at least once.  Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Telford were packed with the ginzu as well.
 -Classic: tracked: Nothing is tracked, the classic trails have been rolled.

Comments: Don't bring good skis, but the trails are mostly skiable, not enough depth the track.  With a couple of more inches of new snow 12/12, the crew will go out and pack the trails again.

    Much of our grooming is performed by volunteers, and their reports help to complete our information.
