The snow was coming down faster than the groomers could keep up with today and they were out the last 4 days in a row - thanks for all your volunteer hours guys!
Classic skiing was terrific today, you can float on the top of it. It's beautiful on the trees which means wet coastal snowball/snowman snow conditions. Best time to get out and try all those inner runs around Beaver / Clearwater (Atna, Devil's Elbow, Foxtrot, Grizzly Way, Icy Pass) that you've been wanting to try but haven't because they look too hard - snow is soft and it's the best time to try them this weekend!
Great report! For those of us who can't ski well yet the sheer beauty of it is a big draw and I'm glad you mentioned it. This afternoon was great! A few inches of snow on top of the grooming makes it slow enough for me to enjoy myself more, but I do understand those who wish it were groomed all the time for speed.
Saturday was great skiing as above post says. I know that some folks are suprised by this as it was raining in Kitimat and Terrace. The bottom line is check the web and roads and go out if safe.
