    Ski conditions yesterday were good to excellent.  With the 8 cm of fresh snow we received overnight they should be excellent today.  Most of the trails were skied in yesterday.  There are likely to be lots of skiers out this weekend, and the trails will get fast.  The Kolapore parking lot on Grey Road 2 has shrunk somewhat, and may be full at times.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    It's hard to tell how much snow Kolapore received recently because there has obviously been a lot of blowing, but this afternoon my estimate is that there is about 15 cm of powder.  This is on top of 25 cm of firm base (at the snow gauge).  Because of the firm base, trail breaking isn't too hard.  Ski conditions should be great after a few skiers are through.  Thanks for the previous post noting that the Kolapore parking lot is plowed.  A reminder to Kolapore Trails Association members that our Soup and Ski event is on this Sunday - please register in advance so we know how much soup to make.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    So much new snow!   Only Church loop and wild mouse broke (had to go to work :( ).  ...good solid base so didn’t sink too deep breaking trail. 

    Lot was plowed also

    Crazy winds yesterday but conditions were great ..only skied the church loop as the creaking trees above and snow changing to ice was getting to me.  Not sure how much was ice but was snow later in the day so trails should still be great and may need to be broke again.

    Kolapore had warm conditions (+8) and heavy rain yesterday.  With the drop in temperatures the trails are now icy.  I would recommend staying off the trails until we get some new snow.  I think we will still have a decent base in the forest, but it is possible that in some open areas the trails will have little or no snow cover.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    At 9 AM it's a bit above freezing.  There's lots of snow, and decent tracks, but there is also rain in the forecast for today (and even more tomorrow).

    Main Paradise Highway loop and Wild Mouse have been broken in. Parking lot has been ploughed and in good condition. Get out tomorrow if you can. It should be extraordinary. Extra trail karma points for the first person around Northwest Passage. Remember, the Trail Association pays for all trail maintenance along with ploughing and toilet rental. Please leave a little something at the donation station to help us out.

    I'm afraid these posts are getting repetitious - another 8 cm overnight and this morning.  In short:  lots of snow, cold and windy, parking and driving may be challenging, prepare to break trail.  And get out before the melt on Sunday - Monday.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Kolapore received another 4 cm of snow overnight, which adds to the 8 cm we received on Monday night.  The snow gauge is up to 47 cm (18").  Trails should be in great condition, although you may need to do some trail breaking.  I skied on Polar wax this morning - not much glide with the cold snow. The Kolapore parking lot on Grey Road 2 was plowed yesterday.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    As I post this at 9:30 AM, Kolapore has received about 8 cm of snow over the past 24 hours.  More is predicted. If you don't mind a bit of trail breaking, skiing should be great. Kolapore Trail Guide
