Kolapore received a few cm of damp snow yesterday, but no rain.  It is snowing lightly at the moment (8 AM).  Conditions may be a bit tricky today - there is good potential for "clumping".

Conditions are generally great as of this morning. The entire outside perimeter has a good track set despite the new snow. Kolapore church-> paradise loop is also in great shape.

Unfortunately some portions of the northwest passage have been post holed and have snowshoe tracks, plus some snowmobile tracks. Despite this it is still great conditions to ski.  Conditions will be getting faster on Sunday.

Over the past two days (Wednesday and Thursday) , the skiing in the south half of the trail system was as good as it gets at Kolapore.  Southern Crossing and Quiet Pastures were nice if you like quiet trails.  Get out and enjoy.  Kolapore Trail Guide

Kolapore received 25 cm of new snow overnight, and a few more cm during the day.  There's a lot of snow in the bush - 75cm/30" at the Kolapore snow gauge.  The Kolapore parking lot was plowed today, and a number of skiers started from there, so some of the popular trails should be broken.  There were a few skiers in from the east end of the County Forest.  Enjoy the prime mid-winter conditions (but be prepared for potential trail breaking in the short term.)  Kolapore Trail Guide

I did a long ski today, and it was one of the best ski days so far this winter.  Hills were delightful.  The only downside I noticed was that a large group had snowshoed and walked in from Kolapore and then followed the Kolapore Church trail for a while.  Kolapore Trail Guide

Kolapore has received 5 cm so far, and it is snowing at the moment.  It sounds like there will be more light snow during the day, and possibly heavy snow overnight.  Skiing should be good, but parking may be tricky tomorrow.  I will post an update later today.  Kolapore Trail Guide

Kolapore received 8 cm of light powder snow on Saturday night.  This will help to freshen up the trails after the heavy use they received on Friday and Saturday.   Kolapore Trail Guide

Overnight Kolapore received about 7 cm of light powder snow.  This will improve conditions.  Most trails should be enjoyable today.  Kolapore Trail Guide

Kolapore received a dusting of snow on Monday.  It has been a number of  days since there has been significant new snow, and with the use over the weekend the trails are getting packed down.   Hills on popular trails (e.g., Kolapore Church and Paradise Highway) will be scraped from snowplowing, and fast.  Many flatter or less used trails still offer  pleasant skiing.  Kolapore Trail Guide

There was enough new snow that the skiing was very pleasant today.  On the most popular trails some hills might have been getting a bit scraped.  When you get away from the more heavily traveled areas, the trail conditions are excellent.  Wet areas are finally freezing - e.g., the south end of Trail to the Summit is finally frozen, although there are still lots of dips.  One result of the heavy use this winter is that there are more moguls than usual, both on hills and on the flats.  I hear reports that parts of Northwest Passage are poor because of the damage done by walkers.  Kolapore Trail Guide
