TOMORROW!
What is there to do when the snow is hard? Build an igloo and bake a cake of course! While that almond cake has more powder on it than we’ve seen since the end of December, there is snow in the forecast starting Monday night.

Back to Normal, Back to Busy!
While the big race is behind us, things are still running at top speed at Trail Creek with lots of skiers of all ages scheduled to be on the snow throughout the week. The school winter sports mid-day programs have ended, but we still have about a month for most JHSC programs to continue to run and have fun.
If you’re looking for some fun today, you could surely find it on a great Nordic ski at Trail Creek today. The Husky has been hard at work, buffing out pretty much every trail. The focus in the woods was ensuring plenty of width for skaters today as yesterday’s classic tracks are still quite nice. Homeward and Outward Bound did receive double passes. The fields were also totally reworked with fresh classic tracks and skate lanes on almost all trails. Conditions today were such that the snow worked up quite nicely.
Snow chances have bumped up a bit for tomorrow with amounts now predicted to be between 2 and 3 inches. Thanks to Coach Luna for a couple of great images from the recent race!
Groomer’s choice for today is Armin’s.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Trails remain in excellent shape, boasting firmer, fast conditions in the morning followed by a slight softening as inversions lift and temperatures reach into the 20s and 30s by afternoon. Snow returns to the forecast over the next few days and will hopefully bring a much needed refresh for the Nordic course, and the Tetons as whole. Storm skiing conditions could exist during the weather system, but we will continue to groom each morning and conditions should be quite enjoyable for Nordic skiing following the potential snow.
Next update will be by Friday, 2/18.
