A beautiful weekend that left us with a little bit more snow than we started off with.
The skiing is great on our trails, especially on the Tormondsen Trail.
The outer trails are great for classic skiing, with more snow to come!

Skiing this week
After all the brutal cold, it feels so warm out there. I actually could ski on my purple glide wax today!
The Tormondsen Trail is incredible and such good exercise. The width makes is great for all level of skier out there, and the snow depth the crew made just incredible. You'll have to take a gander when you are out there. The trail is groomed for skate and classic skiing.
Some of the outer trails have been okay to ski on too although the cover is a bit thin. Best to bring your classic skis and perhaps not your brand new ones. Battell Woods have been beautiful, I just love the trees in there.
See you soon.

5k Tormondsen Race Course is complete
Cold and sunny today with winds out of the south west.
Again dig out your GREEN waxes, cover your ears and nose, put a little vaseline on your cheeks and have a great adventure.
The woods have been a haven from the wind.
The Rikert Snowmaking and Trail Crew has done a superb job opening up 20 km of groomed trails for skiing. Snowshoeing and Snow Biking is another great option with 50 km of trails open.

You have been anxiously waiting, and yesterday the Snowmaking and Grooming Crew (Matt, Alex, Mark, Kirk, Noah, Chas and Mike) celebrated the completion of the Tormondsen Race Course. Not a small job after all the torrential rainstorms and warm spells we had during December and January. Give them a pat on the back when you see them.
Come grab your skis and give the 5k a go. The course has been groomed for both Classic and Skate.
See you there.

Snow, wonderful snow ......
We've been waiting for this!
Sunshine, new snow, 8 trails open, and 20 km groomed!
Pack your bags, and head on up to Rikert this morning - dress in many layers - it is cold.
Bring a buff for your face and cover your ears. Wax up those skis with any green waxes you can find (wax-less is great too) and have a fantastic ski.
Or come and snowshoe or snow bike, the woods are magical.
The lodge will have a fire going in the wood stove, and there is sure to be something warm to drink or eat.
See you there,
Carrie
