Hey skiers and riders here's your ski report for Thursday January 18th. Ski area snowmakers have been hard at work all week and will continue to do so while conditions permit. They are stockpiling snow opening more trails. Also many ski areas east and northeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario have been getting lake effect snow most of the week and that will continue Thursday. Ski areas are skiing on machine groomed, packed powder surfaces by and large. Also more snow is due this weekend too. It's going to be a great weekend of skiing and riding.
