NOTE TO MEMBERS:

Please obey the closed signs on Clearwater Road during grooming. Skiers that choose to ignore the signs and ski Clearwater road while the snowcat is working put both themselves and the club at risk. In addition, skiing the fresh corduroy (that hasn’t had time to ‘set up’) leaves deep ruts that sets up into dangerous grooves for skiers later in the day. The closed signs are in place both for skier safety and quality of grooming.

The following trails have been groomed for skate as of 9:30am. Classic tracks remain in good condition.
