No grooming has been done as the warm spring weather is upon us. The gate is still open but it is ski at your own discretion.

Groomers worked hard to get almost all of the trails track set by Sunday morning and groom for the Williams Lake Ski Tourney. The event was a good success with young skiers from Quesnel and 100 Mile attending. Events included a classic distance race, sprint race and obstacle relay course.

Every trail will have had the machine pass over it by the end of today, so bundle up and go ski. Also there is a kids race going on Sunday so expect some slight detours to avoid the crazy racing kids. Should be a fun event.

We were down a big sled and had to borrow a couple of smaller sleds. The grooming crew is proud to report that all of the trails were open and track set again as of Sunday morning. It was a huge effort due to the heavy snowfall and over a dozen trees down on the trail.
Enjoy your ski and please thankAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09160110427194563894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451260231708862692.post-12300988924249084062018-02-10T19:59:00.002-08:002018-02-10T19:59:30.284-08:00ConditionsThe lit loops and the dog trails have tracks set, the rest of the trails have been packed except canyon view and gunanoot. Quite a few trees have fallen across the trails and has slowed the grooming process. I believe we have cleared them all. More track setting will be happening in the next day or two. One groomer is still under repair so we are a bit behind.

We will be packing all this fresh snow so there are no tracks at the moment. Once the snow lets up we will be back setting tracks.
