Trail Report

A nice shot of snow Tuesday night with around 1.5″ of very dense snow. We groomed all the western trails, setting tracks, the skate loops and a couple of the inner trails setting tracks.  Grooming will continue on through the week to have the trails in best shape possible for the long MLK weekend. Tracks set where previous tracks set groomed up very nice. Island Lake and Wavy gravy still have a few rough spots but the new snow greatly improved conditions and every little dusting helps. Skiing is good!

Another beautiful day on the trails Tuesday. Sunshine, light winds and highs a bit warmer in the upper teens. Groomed include Sukkerbusk and Roy’s Run, setting tracks. The track on Roy’s is good on 75% of the trail and combed on the thinner areas. The snow last night should make for nice classic skiing. Monday grooming  on North Loup, Skaters Waltz, Sap Run, Mother Hen, and Mother North Star. We set tracks on Mother North Star with the Pisten Bully and also tried to set a better track on Sap Run and Mother Hen. Mother North Star groomed out fine.The new snow will cover up the rough spots and skiing should be good here now. W are pleased we know we can groom with the Pisten Bully working in any additional new snow.  Groomed trails for skating  include  North Loup, Skaters waltz and the extension. Groomed with tracks set include Rootin Tootin, JibFly, Twin Lakes, Sap Run, Mother Hen, Mother North Star and Sukkerbusk. All other trails are open with variable conditions but skiable with a skied in track.  The new snow and grooming making skiing nice. Check the board in the lodge for top picks for skating and classic. Currently Twin lakes and Skaters waltz top choices.
Day pass is $15 and ski rental is $15. Lunch available midweek by reservation.

Trail Report

A good weekend of skiing despite the low snow conditions. Temps in the single digits keeping the snow crisp and fresh and fast tracks with the hard crusty base.  Groomed trails include  Skaters waltz and the extension for skating and new tracks set on Rootin Tootin, JibFly, Twin Lakes and Sukkerbusk. Sap Run and Mother Hen combed. All other trails are open with variable conditions but skiable.  We didn’t get as much snow as we hoped for in the latest storm but we didn’t melt out and the dusting of new making skiing possible. There are some nice sections of skiing and skating is good. With the hard base the snow isn’t forgiving but folks are out on the trails enjoying the skiing that is available.
Day pass is $15 and ski rental is $15. Lunch available midweek by reservation.
