An inch of snow has fallen on the classic tracks since the last grooming but they are now skied in and will likely get groomed this Saturday. A new batch of hoarfrost (or whatever they are calling it these days) lies heavily everywhere.

Skied the North trails after the race today. So amazing. Firm, wide, fast skate track (with classic on the side). Big uphills and downhills, but if you like that, the North Trails at Ski Birch are 100% the place to ski right now. In 30 years of skiing them, I have to say today was the one of the best ever. There is one spot in the open…[Read more]

Near perfection grooming at Birch today. The skate deck is as firm as I have ever seen it making it excellent for skating. Come enjoy it this Saturday for the Birchkin Pumpski where you have the opportunity to ski both trail systems, Birch and Pumpkin Creek.

Beautiful winter wonderland at Birch with tons of snow. Grooming was very good, particularly classic tracks. Was snowing lightly as I left.

A few days of packing and grooming mean that our south loop is in really good shape, and the shorter North 2.5, as well. The longer North 5 is not open yet. There’s a race on Sunday from 1-2pm, but other than that, if the roads are good, come out for a ski at Birch!

Just talked to groomer Derek -> Ski Birch is not yet ready for skiing. We need about 10cm more snow. When Birch is ready, it will be posted here.
By the way, grooming equipment got a big upgrade this past year and it is ready to go once we get more snow.
And looking forward to the Birchkin Pumpski recreational ski from Birch to Pumpkin Creek…[Read more]

We had a good ski at Birch yesterday: we did laps of both North and South trails. The only detail I’d add to Birch’s update below is that there is still a ton of snow here! There were only one or two tiny patches of ground peeking through, in exposed areas of North loop. The South loop is perfect and everywhere forested should be good for a whi…[Read more]
