Good Morning,
Holy Guacamole it is nice out there. Cold beautiful temps, little wind and full sun. Prime days to be at Ole's skiing, Trails are groomed up and are in superb condition. Things are amazing out there and we are living high. Cold today with a high only forecasted to be around 5 degrees. Who cares it is beautiful out and it is Cross Country, it is supposed to be cold out. If you come up and ski just wear appropriate clothing and stay in your abilities. Tomorrow it is supposed to be about as nice as it gets and we are psyched to enjoy what will prove to be the best weekend of skiing so far this winter. See yo soon.
