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

After all that skiing this weekend it looks like we are back to breaking trail. What a shame:o) Full-on blizzard right now with 15-20cm predicted. Make plans to get out once this dies down. It's going to be epic conditions.

All trails including NW Passage well broken-in. New snow has made all the difference. Thanks to trail breakers today tomorrow should be a classic Kolapore day. Take care. Bring a map, treats and water. Ski until you've achieved half your happiness and then work your way out. 

Based on a long ski today, I can report that snow/track conditions are generally quite good.  The thaw and rain on Wednesday did less damage than expected.  We retained virtually all the base, and the snow gauge is up to 35 cm.  There is about 5 cm of new snow on top of the crust.  The poorest conditions are under conifers, where there is more crust and less fresh snow on top.  There are still a few wet spots and rocks, so appropriate caution is recommended.  Kolapore Trail Guide  

Over the past 24 hours Kolapore has received about 5 cm of new snow.  We didn't receive the squalls that some local areas (e.g., Scenic Caves) received.  The snow we did get is enough to make some of the trails skiable - covering up the icy tracks from the thaw on Wednesday.  In the short term I would avoid the steeper hills.  Kolapore Trail Guide   

Kolapore received about 10 cm of snow overnight and in the morning.   In the afternoon the temperature went up to +4, and we had some rain.  When the temperature drops there will be a significant ice crust.  I think we will need at least 5 cm of snow to make skiing enjoyable.  Kolapore Trail Guide

Winter has really arrived!  Since my last post on Saturday Kolapore has received about 10 cm of snow, and the snow gauge is now up to 30 cm.    Although you may still encounter the odd rock, conditions should be good.  In the short term be prepared to "break trail" on the less-used trails.  The Kolapore parking lot on Grey Road 2 has been plowed.  Kolapore Trail Guide
