Cross Country Ski Trails
Lotsa Smiles SaturdayWhile groomers worked Friday evening, stiff north winds blew in an estimated 1" of flakes that created a velvety surface for Saturday's skiers. When skiers arrived Saturday, the classic track was partially (sometimes totally) drifted in. But the first strider in the track defined the track for subsequent skiers. Good classic skiing, very good skating. Beautiful, sunny (cold) late winter day.Plenty of happy faces yesterday. The 'smiley face' photos were taken at a few of the distance markers along the East Side Core Loop. If you haven't noticed, the Core Loop measures 11 kilometers - and has km markers at each km along the way. If youย look carefully at our East Side map, you'll find tick marks that identify each of the km distances.Grooming PlansNo grooming planned for Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The underlying base is smooth. Enjoy the velvety surface resulting from Friday and Saturday's windblown snow.To close out the unforgettable winter of 2022-23,ย click here for an appropriate nursery rhyme (song) to close this message.

Ladysmith Area Trails report:
(3/13/23): Sisters Farm Trail Update. What do you do when you get 10 inches of snow in March? You groom and groom and groom. Jim groomed the East this morning and I groomed the West side. Very soft so we made a lot of passes but with the cold temps tonight trails should be good tomorrow and for the next few days. I know people are getting tired of snow bur should be a good stretch to get out on the trails
