MONDAY GROOMING REPORT - CARPE DIEM AND SKI TODAY!
Wise words from our groomers today …
“Better get out today as the forecast is not looking very good.”
SUNDAY UPDATE - ALL TOUCHED UP 🌟
Groomer Bob is reporting that all trails are touched up and are very hard with a bit of loose snow on top.
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT USE CONNECTOR TRAIL TO KINGSWOOD
Please note that Kingswood and the highway trails are not in good condition and pose a safety risk. The connector trail is closed. Please do not enter the Woodlot from Kingswood.
SATURDAY GROOMING UPDATE
Here is today’s report from the hard working grooming team:
Trails are soft but the temperature is dropping so that’s good.
UNB Woodlot is mostly done for skate and tracks are being set.
Kingswood should not be skied. Stonehenge is iffy at the bottom.
Two shovels have been left on Lian. Feel free to use them!
Thank you, Team Groom!
THURSDAY UPDATE: SOFTER TODAY :)
Groomer Bob is reporting that conditions are softer today. He has removed most of the track in order to make a nice smooth track when we get snow.
Enjoy your ski everyone!
WEDNESDAY UPDATE - TRAILS GROOMED AND ARE PRETTY HARD
Groomers are reporting that trails are frozen pretty hard this morning.The ginzu was used for a bit but groomers were afraid of damaging it so they went back and got the renovator.
Trails are turning out okay but are very hard. It will be the renovator until we get snow.
Thank you so much, grooming team. We appreciate you and your work!
TUESDAY UPDATE: REX & BOB TAG TEAMED IT TODAY!
Word from the groomers is as follows:
“Trails are ready. Wildly fast. Rex and I tagged teamed.”
Thank you Bob and Rex! 🌟
MONDAY UPDATE: FIRM & FAST
It’s a simple message today from the groomers: conditions are firm and fast!
SUNDAY UPDATE
Groomer Bob is reporting that “trails are in great shape”!
Additionally, found this young lady at 5:30 this morning. She has been training all night for the Loppet. She is very dehydrated, confused and showing early signs of hypothermia. I have her hooked to an IV cable and her strength is coming back. She’s at two bars now and still improving. I don’t think she will make it to the Loppet but she is pre registered and should qualify for any draw prizes. She wants to get back home ASAP. Please text her at 5064703071.
😊
THURSDAY UPDATE: FAST & FIRM!
Groomers are reporting that the trails are ‘grooming up nicely and are fast and firm’.
Enjoy your ski! Thank you to the amazing groomers. 👏🏻
SNOW SHOVELERS NEEDED AT KILLARNEY TOMORROW, 1 PM AND 4:30 PM
📣 Calling all members and friends of Wostawea 📣
SNOW SHOVELERS NEEDED TOMORROW
As you all know, our snow conditions are less than ideal. We have a busy weekend coming up at Killarney Lake with Jackrabbit lessons, the Multicultural Association lessons, and a sprint competition on Saturday and the loppet on Sunday.
A small group of volunteers has been working on coming up with a good plan to prepare the trails for these programs. However, in order for this to work we need a large group of people to help to move, shovel and rake snow onto the trails.
We are calling for one and all to come to Killarney Lake tomorrow, Thursday Feb 15 to help.
We need teams at both 1 pm and again at 430 pm.
Please bring shovels, scoops and rakes. There is more than enough work for everyone who comes.
Please remember this is YOUR club and these activities will benefit hundreds of skiers, from youth to seniors.
We hope to see you tomorrow.
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: ALL GROOMED AND FAST!
Groomers are reporting that all trails are groomed and are firm and fast. Enjoy your ski!.
