Ski Trail

Trail Report

Dusting of new snow overnight. We groomed this morning and last night the loop we have been grooming on this past week.  A ski mid day found slightly better conditions. There are some good sections that makes for nice skiing but other sections very hard and icy. We will have this loop open for any diehard local skiers looking for one last ski. All other trails are closed and the loop will most likely close on Thursday.

Fat bike trails closed until further notice. Latest report.

End of Sap Run ski trail, March 7th, 2017. Typical of most of the trails which have a ice base coverage.

Skaters Waltz, March 7th, 2017. Besides the Kamikaze hill section, there is good coverage but it is pretty much solid ice and about impossible to ski on with below freezing temps.

Fat Bike Trail Report

The trails will be closed until further notice. A check of the singletrack trails Tuesday morning after it froze down hard found mostly snow free singletrack on the east side that was good riding but connected with icy ski trail sections. The west side or Twin Lakes singletrack pretty much ribbons of ice, not rideable and closed. The trails will open again after the frost is out or by chance conditions change to open for end of winter/early spring.

Ribbon of ice on the Twin Lakes singletrack. Pretty much impossible to ride and closed until further notice. March 7th, 2017.

Top of lakeside singletrack, March 7th, 2017. Great riding thanks to rock solid frozen ground.

Sap dripping from a broken maple tree branch and turning to ice. After warm temps that saw sap running yesterday,  it has now frozen down hard.
