Welcome to spring skiing! There will be a nice "sweet spot" today on the trails as the temperatures climb. Come explore the trails, listen to the birds singing about spring, watch for the water starting to flow under the ice in the river. 25k trails open, frozen granular warming as the day goes on. Open today 9-4:30  The trails will start off hardpacked again this morning, but we will look for softening as the day goes on. The Inner trails have been groomed to create some softer lanes. We have lots of areas that are fun to explore on snowshoes. Open today until 4:30.
10:45 UPDATE - Bill is out on the groomer and reports that the snow is softening up nicely. Come enjoy the fresh corduroy!! Intermittent sunshine also!
It's a gray day. Late winter, the snow on the side of the roads is brown, you still need to watch where you step to avoid ice, just a gray day. The snowy woods at Viking are still bright and beautiful. The trails are firm, dare I say icy. Snowshoes will provide great traction on a day like today, or skiing along the River Loop and enjoying the mountain views. 25k of trails open today from 9-4:30. Hot soup and grilled cheese available in the Cafe. Good morning - we were able to groom the Inner trails last night as temperatures cooled off. They are firm and fast with some loose granular on top. Still lots of coverage out there, snowshoeing would be a great way to get in your steps today.  We've got rain in the forecast, with temps in the mid to high 40's (and 60 straight hours of temps above 32). We'll need to navigate some uncertainty. The plan is to be closed Wednesday and Thursday, and then assess the condition of our trails on Thursday afternoon/evening or Friday morning.
It's been a heck of a winter. We've got a lot of snow out there, so I don't think it will disappear in the next two days. But, we could use some new snow to refresh our inner trails. Snowshoeing should continue to be fun for a while longer, as will skiing on our outer trails. Stay tuned. |
