After a week of Spring like conditions, colder weather moving in making it feel more like winter.  We have been grooming on the trail system daily trying to improve the conditions.  Reports have been good.  Fast but mostly controllable. The dusting of new snow took the icy edge off the trail but still hard underneath. The fresh groomed a bit more loose but fast. Expect crusty and icylike conditions. Compacted base 8-10″. Snow depth in woods 1-2 feet. 100% open on 64km. 57 km tracked for classic, 13km groomed for skating.   Skaters Waltz/ extension, Suicide Hill and North Loup groomed for skating.  There is also a track set on North Loup for classic.

Total snowfall  this season has been 69″.  The trails are open for day skiing and the current fee is $15 to use the trails for the day.
