Weekly Update
It's been a great week for skiing, with some fresh snow to boot. Take advantage of it this weekend as a storm is brewing for Monday which may bring rain :-(
According to Clarence, the Blue North trail is open to Drop-off Ridge & is in good condition, albeit a tad dirty after the wind the other evening. Clarence also adds a footnote to "trail étiquette" concerning setting the track after a snowfall. We certainly appreciate the work of any skiers who get there first and break the trail. One detail to remember is to try to set it wide enough so that it will be comfortable and stable to ski at full stride, not just at the walking pace of track breaking.
Some of the guys, under Ross' direction will be clearing the new trail this weekend, now dubbed, "Twisted Tree Trail". I don't think we'll be able to work in shirtsleeves as we did about six weeks ago though:
I was also skiing at Beech Hill this week, which has been track-set throughout. This is an excellent area for families or if you want to go a bit faster on a groomed trail. Here we are a couple of winters ago:
