Winter trail status, grooming notes and current weather
Excellent ski conditions today with a bit of new snow falling to refresh the trails. Today is a good day for a long ski across the Rendezvous if you have been craving Sick Joke Hill or for a ski up to Sun Mountain from town. For you snowshoe enthusiasts, Sun Mountain, Winthop and Mazama trails have been packed out. Fatbiking out of Winthrop is great with soft conditions (lower your tire pressure accordingly). Lots of winter adventures to be had out there, so get out there and enjoy!

It's 16F out there this morning, with a skiff of new snow.
Expect a high in the upper teens.
Glide - Toko Red or Swix 6 should work. You could also try one of the liquid waxes that apply without aerosol, like Vauhti PURE Blue.
Grip -- Try something like Vauhti Blue, Toko Blue, or Swix Blue Extra. Or you could use fish scale bases or newer skin skis and skip the grip wax altogether.
Dress warm and have fun out there!
