Friday Jan 18th- A spectacular sunny morning up here ! Fresh snow, fresh grooming, and snow laden trees make for heavenly conditions. Its - 6 degrees and no wind with mostly sunny skies. Angela I was asked by a Visitor from Australia if I ever get tired of the snow laden trees and the snow and I honestly answered "Never". There truly is something surreal and mystical about being out in the forest, soft snow falling and the world seemingly has fallen away. THAT is what keeps me coming back to the trails.- Kristine So no matter what your reason is for skiing, I know there are many loves to get you out here, we are truly blessed to have the KNC in our back yard. Playtime at its winter best!
