Good Morning,
As of 7:18am the temperature is -2c. It will be sunny today, with a high of +9c.
Clearwater is just finished being groomed including all the loops. Busk West and the Euphrates loops are just getting started. Busk should be about the same as the last couple days. A bit rough at the start, but a really good ski along the main line. Clearwater is ok at start, might be fast the first half kilometre, but should soften by latter morning. Above 1.5 km is really nice conditions. Enjoy the trails while they last, spring looks to be full on next week!

Good Morning,
As of 5:58am the temperature is -4c. It will be sunny today, with a high of +8c.
Clearwater is being groomed at the moment and should include Moose loop again. Busk West and Euphrates will be next. The grooming should mitigate some of the issues with late season freeze and thaw, but just be observant for icy or rough patches. the first half kilometre of Busk is thin, and not beautiful, but once you are over the bridge it is quite good all the way to the cabin. Apex will remain closed.
Today will be the last day of Kiosk operations. It has been a great season, even with the wonky warm weather. It is always great to see all the familiar faces and interact with all of you. My team of wonderful volunteers and staff that serve you, deserve huge amounts of credit, for making member and visitor experience at the front end a positive experience. We will be grooming until it is no longer feasible, and I will continue the reports until then. The groomers are the unseen wizards, that are the heart of the Nordic operation, moving snow and patching things back together, during these challenging season’s. Nelson Nordic kept running this season, when many clubs had to close. I am in awe of the groomers and their dedication, working away when we are asleep, to provide us with the best skiing experience. Thanks to the grooming team!
The first half kilometre of Clearwater is pretty icy and and fast. The groomer got it dug up and groomed but it has dropped a bit below zero since and has hardened up. Maybe only ski Clearwater if you are experienced and on skate skis or classics with steel edges.
Busk is better, but the section from the start is thin with some rough patches. There is a 10m really rough patch a bit before the first hill. Once your over the bridge it is golden!
