Copper to Mordor, Dog, Selwyn's Loop, Upper Valley, Powerline, the World Cup 5K and Olympic were groomed recently. They are excellent for classic and skating.

All other trails are also in excellent condition. Skating is better later in the day.

The overflow on Lower Valley trail is frozen and skiable.

The Mt. Mac Ascent and Descent and the Jack Fraser Loop were groomed recently. They are in excellent condition, but recommended for experienced skiers only.

Take extra food and extra clothing for the Descent.

Always carry a cell phone, especially when skiing alone.
