Keep checking the FB page or the blogger for condition reports. Groomers are staying on top of the new snow as schedules allow. At any rate, the conditions as of now (late January) are GREAT!
20/21 Season Finally Kicks Into Gear
Author: SWNSC
New Snow!
Whew, we almost had to close up shop on the upper trails, but we got a nice little dose of much-needed snow. New groomer, Cameron Staples, got out early to roll pack it all, including Camp May practice area. He reports pretty nice conditions on the upper trails, and pretty good on the lower Guaje Road. It’ll still be thin, so keep bringing your “rock skis” until we get that big 10″+ storm. We’re kinda being strung along with these smaller storms. But, Enchanted Forest in Red River did receive 13″ as of this morning (Dec. 29). They’re totally set with great conditions for New Years!
Great conditions up at EFXC!
We put on a little informal SWNSki Kids intra-squad meet up at EFXC this past weekend, and were treated to wonderful conditions and a lot of fun. If you haven’t been up there yet, make the effort. It is definitely worth it! Also, they have a lot of used ski gear for kids, so ask Ellen Miller about that when you’re there.
Season is ON!
Well, at least we’re skiing a little bit. It’s definitely thin and “early season” as they say – use your old/rock skis! Be sure to check the club’s Facebook page (see link on this site), and also the club blog, where we post conditions updates as they come. It’s been so super busy trying to get things up and running that we’re behind with some posts, but that’ll change. Looks like more weather at the end of next week into New Year, etc. For now, we’ll take what we got. Also, get up to Enchanted Forest XC and get your season pass there. They have even better conditions!
Full Moon Ski Social – this Saturday, February 8
Join us for a full moon social ski out to Cañada Bonita this Saturday evening, February 8th at 6pm. We’ll plan on heading out about 6:15pm or so, sorting out into easy-paced (i.e. talking pace) groups. Bring your favorite warm beverages and treats for before/after/during libation breaks. All-comers welcome, including kids. Bring a headlamp just in case, but it gets really bright when the moon is shining on the snow. Should be a lovely evening!
Classic Technique TT – Saturday 2/8/2020
We’ll be hosting a free classic technique time trial on the trails this Saturday, first skier off by 9:30 AM (sharp-ish). We’ll groom in a good track on Friday evening, and it’ll be about a 5km or 6km, depending on how we figure out the course. We’re looking at running it directly up to the upper trails and back (one big loop, minus TJ’s and Dave’s Dogleg)…maybe, but that is still yet to be determined.
