Monday, November 10th, 7 PM

What an exciting start to the ski season — Red skies in the morning…brought snow Sunday. Trails packed Sunday and then again today. Pig Heart, Snow Cross, and Crasher roller groomed 8 km of trails including most of the new Early Snow Loop (ESL) and a piece of River and Memory and Blueberry return. The ESL loop groomed up extremely well with one small wet spot on Blueberry. The River Trail from the ponds to Popple groomed up well as with the new surface. The snowmobile skis did not bring up any rocks or gravel. We do have early season skiing, I always suggest rock skis until you ski the 8 km loop and decide. Matthew, the new Foundation Operations manager, has decided to open Tuesday for skiing! pig heart
