Snow in the Forecast!
It looks like finally today the inversion is going to be stirred up for the next few days with pretty good snowfall chances clear into Saturday. The interesting image above taken this morning was most likely the warmer moister air above trying to work its way down into the valley. As of 11:30 while the sky had clouded over, the valley had cleared out with temps climbing through -10ºC/14ºF with little breeze.
Today’ grooming was a Pisten Bully skate pass of almost every trail. Both classic tracks and skate lanes should work nicely today. Apologies to the lateness of the grooming report, somehow the official mouse exploded in the cabin today, delaying publication.
Groomer’s choice for today is Outward Bound.

There are a few flakes falling as I write this, we’re expecting light snow this morning and lovely trail conditions all day long. The fat bike single track is in great condition and we will keep it groomed through this up coming storm. Aaron rode it yesterday and had so much fun, he won’t stop talking about it!
