A crisp morning greets skiers at the Russian Jack Trail System, with overnight temperatures settling at 14°F. The trails are holding a solid 25-inch snowpack, though slightly below the seasonal average. Despite this, conditions remain inviting, with well-packed trails offering a smooth glide. No fresh snow overnight, but the base remains firm, making for excellent classic and skate skiing. A light dusting is expected later this week, which should help refresh the surface. Groomers have been out early, ensuring well-defined tracks and a fast, enjoyable ride.

No major news impacting the area today, leaving skiers free to enjoy the peaceful winter scenery. The colder temperatures are keeping the snow dry, with good edge control for those venturing out. With clear skies and minimal wind, today is an ideal day to hit the trails before the next system moves in. Dress in layers and take advantage of the well-maintained routes for a perfect midwinter outing!
