A Little Firm

The snow is very frozen this morning and this will prohibit us from setting classic tracks. We are still grooming for skate skiing. Hopefully the sun will soften up the ungroomed terrain later today.

Open This Weekend.

Bolton Valley was scheduled to close on Sunday March 31st, but conditions have been so great that we decided to send the season into Extra Innings and we will re-open for the weekend of April 6th and 7th! That means you’ll get a bonus weekend of Nordic and backcountry skiing with Nordic tickets at just $5. Nordic season passes and punch cards are valid this weekend. We'll get out and groom 11km for both skate and classic skiing on Saturday morning. The temps are expected to rise into the 30s under sunny skies on Saturday.

Saturday Grooming

On Saturday morning we skate groomed and set classic tracks on Picnic Loop, Valley Loop, World Cup, Maple Loop (Upper, Middle and Lower), Spruce Run and Broadway. We also freshly skate groomed Bobcat, Telemark and Teardrop. 

Saturday Update

This weekend will continue our trend of excellent conditions on the Nordic side of life. We did a nice amount of grooming on Thursday and reports from the trails indicate that some of the best skiing you'll find right now is going to be had on the groomed surfaces. We will regroom a few trails Saturday morning for both skate and classic and should have an update by 10am. Those trails will have the freshest, most recent grooming, but all groomed trails will be in good shape. Backcountry skiers will want to know that the best bet is to ski on the well traveled and high traffic terrain. Conditions may prove difficult for skiing in the backcountry otherwise. The wax of the day is once again Yellow.

Nordic: Oh So Nice!

This weekend will continue our trend of excellent conditions on the Nordic side of life. We woke up to another inch of snow this morning and after a brief respite, the snow is now picking up. We did a nice amount of grooming yesterday and reports from the trails indicate that some of the best skiing you'll find right now is going to be had on the groomed surfaces. We currently have 15km for skate skiing and 10km of classic tracks set as of 2pm yesterday. We will likely re-groom late Friday night into Saturday morning to freshen up the trails and provide the most terrain for the weekend. 

Backcountry skiers will want to know that the best bet is to ski on the well traveled and high traffic terrain. Conditions may prove difficult for skiing in the backcountry otherwise. 

Did you know Bolton Valley is going into "Extra Innings?" That's right, thanks to the excellent conditions, we will add a bonus weekend for skiing on April 6th and 7th. That means Nordic pass holders can ski an extra weekend of Nordic and backcountry and Nordic day tickets will be just $5. Check out more info about Extra Innings weekend!
