    I did a short ski in from the Kolapore parking lot to do some trail work, and spring skiing is starting.  There is continuous snow cover on the trail, but rocks and wet spots are starting to appear.  The snow was warming up, and if temperatures drop the track will be icy.  Be prudent about where and when you choose to ski.  (Skiing at Scenic Caves was lovely this morning.)  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Get out and enjoy the new snow.  However, some skiers were having problems with clumping this morning, on both fish-scale and skin skis.  Ski prep is important.    Kolapore Trail Guide

    A dusting of new snow on fast but soft trails. Fantastic conditions.

    Overnight Kolapore received about 4 cm of new snow.  This will help to freshen the trails.  Get out while you can - the forecast high of +11 on Sunday may mean the end of good skiing.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    I skied at the south end today, including the "Winter Use Only" trails, and conditions were very pleasant.  Tracks were in generally good shape.  Some of the more popular trails may be packed down or scraped.  This is the time of the year when you should seize the opportunity to ski on good days.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    I hear that Kolapore received over 12 cm of snow in squalls this morning.  Flurries are continuing.  Skiing should be OK on most trails.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Yesterday Kolapore experienced warm temperatures (+7) and a significant amount of rain.  With the cold temperatures the trails will be crusty or icy.  We've had about 2 cm of snow as I post this at 10:30 AM, but that isn't nearly enough snow to provide safe and enjoyable skiing.  I think that 5 cm might make some flatter trails usable, but hills will need more.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    The Kolapore parking lot was plowed today, and there were lots of skiers on the trails.  There is good roadside parking at the east and west entrances to the County Forest.  You might be able get into the Metcalfe Rock parking lot if you have an aggressive truck or SUV.  There is lots of snow, but given that temperatures on Monday will be close to freezing, ski prep to avoid icing will be advisable.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Overnight and this morning Kolapore received 12+ cm.  The 12 cm is on top of the 20+ cm that fell yesterday.  The snow gauge is at 52 cm - the most snow we've had this winter.  Parking will be a challenge - because of a road closure on Grey Road 2 due to blowing snow, the Kolapore parking lot will not be plowed until Sunday.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Kolapore received 20+ cm of snow overnight.  Be prepared to break trail.  The Kolapore parking lot was carefully plowed this morning by a volunteer.  Roadside parking is in good shape at the County Forest.  Kolapore Trail Guide
