Good morning! ❄️ Conditions today on March 26th are better than any day we had in January. All trails have classic track set and snowcombed skating lanes. Come ski it to believe it! Warm up by the fire with a hot toddy afterwards, and enjoy a panini at the Stone Turtle Café, which is open until the end of this month. And in case you already put your skis away, the rental desk is open!
