    Great weekend for all who made it out. Good base is holding. Catching last light at 5 this afternoon was a little bit of heaven. Two words moving in to the next week. "Patience" and "timing." Patience in that we are heading in to spring skiing conditions (again) so maybe not the 30k you were planning. (County Forest will hold the snow better than Paradise Highway.) Timing in that you will have better skis in the morning and later in the afternoon when the trail is firm. Trail Guide #3

    Absolutely excellent conditions. All main trails -including NW Passage- have been broken. Colder than expected today with some fresh snow so current conditions should hold for a good part of Sunday. Tomorrow is your day. Trail Guide #3

    With thanks to many skiers, trails have been broken through most of the system. Conditions are pristine. Remember to only ski as far in as you are willing to ski out. Bring a map, water and snacks. And! Leave a little something for the Trail Fairy in the donation station on your way out. Have a great/safe weekend. Trail Guide #3

    As of 3pm today the parking lot has been plowed. Thanks to everyone who has been pushing the trails through. Most main trails should be skied in by tomorrow afternoon. Slow going for those breaking but glory skiing for everyone who follows. Get ready for a great weekend. Trail Guide #III

     Tried to break trail yesterday but the main parking lot was not plowed yet (2:00).so did some of the county forest..  It was deep!     Does anyone know if the parking lot is plowed this morning? 

    Thank you. :).   Can't wait to enjoy all this snow!

    Heavy snow last night continues. Skiing will be pristine later this week and through the weekend. Make the most of the best conditions of the year. Trail Guide #3

    It's spring skiing today.  It will get quite mushy in the afternoon with the warm temperatures and sun.  The base is consolidating - the snow gauge is down to 30 cm (12").  When it refreezes (which is likely to happen overnight), I would strongly recommend staying off the trails until we have a reasonable amount of new snow.

    Today was one of the best ski days of the year.  The snow gauge is up to 35 cm (15").  I scratched a few rocks today, but most trails were in good shape.  On Saturday I would strongly recommend getting out early.  The temperature will likely get above 0 C, which means that there is a good chance that the snow will clump on skis (including non-wax skis) when it warms.

    Kolapore received about 15 cm of snow yesterday and overnight.  There is 30 cm of snow at the snow gauge.  Ski conditions today were about as good as they have been at any point this winter.  That said, rock skis are still advisable.  The Kolapore parking lot is well plowed.  Some trails were not broken as of later this afternoon.  Get out and enjoy!

    There is still snow in the bush at Kolapore.  However, with the thaw yesterday and the freeze last night, I would recommend staying off the trails until we either have a reasonable amount of new snow, or it gets warm enough for spring skiing.
