My report is a bit late - I stayed up last night to watch the lunar eclipse. What a treat to have clear skies to see such a beautiful event! Today is sunny and clear and Viking is in perfect shape for skiing and snowshoeing. All of our 22k of open trails have been groomed, with classic track set on the Inner trails. Let's wait a bit this morning for conditions to soften up, our hours today are 11:00am - 5:00pm. Today's photo is from Loki's Lookout.
George has spent the day grooming and the conditions are great!! Make plans to spend the weekend at Viking, because we don't know how long this will last!
We will be open today from 11:00-5:00. Overnight cold freezes the trails up, but we will be above freezing around 11:00. This is the weather that makes the maple sap run! 25k still available for winter fun, whether you classic ski, skate ski or snowshoe.
11;30 UPDATE - Trails have softened a bit and are now open. 25 k open for skiing and snowshoeing.
Good morning - after the beautiful, warm day yesterday, temps dropped overnight and the trails are rock solid. We are closed this morning and will evaluate conditions at 11:00am to see if things have softened up to allow for safe skiing. Make plans to call in sick tomorrow if you can - we still have great coverage and it will be much warmer than today. Friday and Saturday also look they will be fantastic spring days - after that it gets warm and wet. Good morning. Yesterday, the snow was hard and fast in the morning, but by late afternoon the young skiers from the Bill Koch League were zooming around in short sleeves, enjoying the pushable snow that still blankets the trails. They even ended practice taking turns over a jump - so much fun! We have 25k of trails open - snowshoeing will be good all day, skiing will be best around noon or after. Take advantage of our 1pm discount ticket and get out in the spring sunshine.
