There is still snow at the mound. However, the trails are extremely patchy, so I would recommend doing laps at the top where there is still good coverage. Get out this AM though, it's getting soft quickly. Another skier and I have set some decent tracks, but there is still plenty of snow for you …
There's a lot of snow at BMSP. 12"+ in places where it hasn't melted or drifted away. Use wide touring skis or you'll sink all the way down and leave slushy tracks. Be careful on the downhills, there are wet or partially open areas at the bottom of some of them.
Made a trip up to Hayward to ski-started at 00 trailhead- went south. recently groomed with about 1" fresh snow on top about 6" base. a few spots where ice was below-tracks were good- Perfect conditions! 20f sunny and tons of REAL groomed snow- like mid winter conditions- should be around for awhile. Slower than …
Looking ahead to the forecast of lots of snow coming. Does anyone know if cxc will be grooming if the forecast bears fruit?
Went up to Cable and skied a couple laps on the 10km Birkie loops. Trail in the woods the first 5km were perfectly groomed with still about a foot of base in most areas-once you got into the golf course area trail became a bit icy with about a half inch of real snow on …
What little was left of the snow is now a solid chunk of ice. It's worth noting that even during this warmest winter on record, the mound was skiable for about 8 weeks, providing better conditions than trails hundreds of miles to our north.
Stopped in at cxc to check conditions. Found the only snow left is the hill along the powerlines and still plenty of it there. Wednesday looks really cold -enough to make more snow.
The ski trails are open to hikers now, so combined with the heat, the trails have been predictably trashed. Rock skis only. You'll have to walk a ways from the trailhead to find "skiable snow". The Willow Spring Trail (green) and part of Flint Rock (red) are technically skiable, but it's mostly thin, super compacted …
The Elver Park glacier still holding a decent base on the upper sections of the lighted trail. There’s about 200 meters of skiable snow, enough for a couple of quick “pick ups” before the trip to Cable. Only for the hardest of the hardcores.
