Conditions Report from Wednesday Evening 12/6/2023

Things have deteriorated quite a bit from the weekend with the “heat wave” weather we’re experiencing. With only a couple of modest storms covering the ground, there just wasn’t much snow to start with. The warm temps in the 40s warms up the ground and melts things from above and below. So, expect soft, wet conditions during the day, and ice by mid-afternoon and night. There are also numerous exposed rocks, sticks, and grass, so be SUPER careful. There will be completely exposed spots within a couple of days, most likely.

We did get our group of juniors all the way to the top of the meadow and I think they learned how to get over their kick zones much more emphatically 😉

Learning to classic ski on variable surfaces and icy conditions builds early-season grit!
