Comments Fri 3 Feb @ 08:53
It is a beautiful day this morning with the overall snow conditions being good.The warm-up on Wednesday has firmed the base up in some areas, and caution will be needed on some icy areas. We are out with the PistenBullys grooming the surface which is creating pretty nice loose granular skiing overall.
We are now grooming some of the former Highland Lodge trails in Greensboro. The trails over there, while beautiful, are generally narrower and rougher than the ones here at the Center. Combined with the weekly, as opposed to daily, grooming, one should expect a wider variety of conditions and a less 'polished' feel. We plan to groom these trails for the weekends as well as the connector from the Grand Tour trail in Craftsbury Village.
