Trails are open A great day of skiing on tap! Forest is lightly flocked in white with a touch of rime frost. Looks to be slightly warmer today which should soften up the harder elements of the trail late morning/mid afternoon. We will be out grooming this morning on more classic trails, most likely Wavy Gravy, Roy’s Run and Rootin Tootin and probably touch up Skaters Waltz to end the grooming session.

We are only resetting one track, saving the other side for future grooming. This approach allows us to keep snow longevity. If the track you are skiing in seems icy, try the other side! Friday grooming on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother North Star and Twin Lakes. Also renovated and combed the skater trails of Skaters Waltz and North Loup. A little bit of organic forest matter falling to the deck after windy conditions Thursday morning otherwise the snow and base is holding out well considering the current snow drought and roller coaster weather last week.

Use extra caution walking in the parking lots and start area which is icy.    

Skating on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Single Green, Kristin’s Kutoff and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. All other trails are tracked for classic skiing. (Please no skating on classic trails) Sukkerbusk is a great starter trail for classic which feeds the outer trails and crosses most of the inner trails providing a good “lay of the land”.  

17″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system the past two weeks.
