ith temperatures in the 20s , sunshine and great trail conditions the skiing was most enjoyable yesterday. Today will be a snowy ski day. As of 7 am we have already received close to an inch of fresh dense snow. Ginzu Dana will be packing, grooming and setting tracks in the fresh snow throughout the morning on all trails. Conditions for Classic skiing are great and the skate skiing conditions will be soft until the fresh snow is packed.
