Making the Most of It!
Thanks to Coach Julia for sending in a video of the Teewinots making the most of what has been a very warm spring. As long as you can find it, slushy snow can be a lot of fun and these Teewinots look to be taking full advantage of the warm conditions.
You too might want to make the most of your skiing opportunities today as it might not be possible in the not too distant future. Yesterday’s warm and windy conditions did do some pretty significant damage to our snow base. While it is still possible to ski from the cabin to the woods without leaving frozen water, quite a few holes and additional icy patches have developed. The Husky was able to groom today, however the tiller did have to be raised in a few places.
When you reach the higher elevation woods however, things are mostly in pretty good shape yet. A few more icy patches appeared and some of the sunnier part of Moose Loop struggled a bit yesterday, but much is like the image below with good coverage. While perhaps not an Olympic caliber Nordic skiing experience today, it will still work and who knows how long it will stick around.
Groomer’s choice for today is Animal Farm.

Snowy Cabin Edition!
While the season is far from over, the 2025–2026 Nordic season has been nothing if not bizarre. Although precipitation has remained moderate, we’ve seen an unusual number of warm days for this corner of Wyoming. Despite the late start, we have been blessed with many fantastic days on the snow—and we’re hopeful that streak continues deep into spring.
We’ve posted comparison photos from early and late February; while early February mirrored the record lows of 2018, we have made measurable progress since then. It’s always fascinating to see the year-to-year variance, and we’re still holding out hope for a late-season "about-face" that could rival the legendary snow totals of 2019.
Today’s Husky grooming covered most trails except for Cle’s Climb, Faceplant, and Mug’s Meadow. Most of the woods received a single skate/classic pass while the fields received multiple passes. Initial grooming in the woods came up a bit chunky after recent days of snow and rain, but should ski nicely. By the time grooming moved to the fields, the snow was warm enough to lay down into some lovely corduroy.
Groomer’s choice for today is to enjoy the fantastic sunshine and warm temps in the East Fields.
