Trail Report

Heading out to the Ellis Sunday; The Ellis and Riverbank were groomed again this morning!
Wednesday, Dec.11,6 pm
Trails will be closed again on Thursday. Not fun to be closed for one day, and even less so when it gets to Day 2.
The “silver lining” is more like a “slippery silvery” lining… the forecast which has been annoyingly accurate so far this storm, is for the rain to stop very early Thursday morning with the temperatures falling rapidly starting then. We will assess the trails, figure out what can be brought back into action first (not ’til Friday at the earliest) and get ready to ramp up snowmaking, possibly as early as Thursday night (possible monkey wrench then might be wind.)
Thank you for help us by staying off the trails and explaining to others why we are doing this. The drizzle-to-rain scenario is damaging but compressing the wet snow by walking or skiing on it is even worse. If we leave it alone the remaining snow has a chance to drain.
The current weather is hardly ideal but up til Tuesday afternoon we had a delightful week+ of early season skiing with conditions that improved almost every day.
Tickets when we reopen will be $25
Last Friday’s ski mobility session was so much fun we plan to do it again. As of now Wed PM it looks like we will probably be back in action on the Wentworth on Friday at 1 pm. We learned last Friday that it doesn’t take a full hour to max out on this activity. So we will plan on a 1 pm start and likely be wrapping up in about 30-45 minutes. We will know better on Thursday if this plan will be possible.
PLEASE help us by NOT walking on the ski trails.
