Back to Rock Skiing
I just Skied Tote Road trail and its back up to rock skiing status. We did pack it down with the YTS. It should set up nicely with the cold temps. We got just a little over an inch of snow. Rocks are exposed for the most part. Icy base. I would wait till this afternoon to try skating on Tote.
We may get a couple more inches in the next few days which will improve the skiing greatly.
The Yurt is not open. Please ski with caution. Very little cell coverage. Donations appreciated at kiosk attached to front deck of Yurt.

Happy New Year
Still waiting for enough snow to groom as we welcome the new year. People have been coming out and trail walking this holiday week. Remember to grab a trail map at the kiosk attached to our deck. Bring your ski poles along. My Nordic walking friends tell me you burn 10% more calories using your ski poles.
I wish you all the best for 2012 and I hope we will all be skiing soon here at the Trails Center.
