Trail Report

Incredible morning for April 4th. Around an inch of new snow was groomed in on Skaters Waltz and North Loup. Temp below freezing before 10am but intense sunshine softening the snow. Still fantastic skiing for early April on the trails groomed this morning. Should cool down at dusk and skiing should be nice at sunset and very nice Tuesday morning. We are most likely done grooming North Loup for the year but the skiing should be good this week with proper timing. Hard to believe how much snow is in the woods when the fields and prairie are mostly snow free. Short section on Kamikaze hill burned out but otherwise the trails being groomed have complete full coverage. Has been a winter for the record books for sure, enjoying our 7th month on the calendar of skiing!

Total snowfall  this season has been 94″.   We are closed for the season for lodging but grooming select trails until the snow is completely gone. Trails will be open at no charge with no services available.  If you are a non-season ticket holder, please call us in advance if you wish to ski. 218-375-4466 or email at [email protected]

Trail Report

Still skiing the first week of April!! Five inches of snow Thursday and Friday melting off but still a solid base on the trails with a few thin/open areas. Couple skiers out on the weekend enjoying the late season skiing. A trip around Skaters Waltz and North Loup late Sunday afternoon found full coverage except the top part of Kamikaze hill. Hard to believe how much snow is in the woods when the fields and prairie are mostly snow free.  Skiing a little slow with the warm temps but faster than expected. Looks to cool down tonight with a dusting of snow and we should have some nice skiing the first part of the week.

North Loup trail Sunday afternoon, April 3rd, 2011. Still plenty of snow for some late season skiing!

Trail Report

We woke up to almost 3″ of fresh snow Friday morning. That makes around 5″ of new snow this week. Winter won’t let go! Getting in the lower 40’s today so the snow was sticky and slushy.  We don’t plan on grooming again until possibly Sunday but the trails are open and there should be some good skiing (for April!!) with the right timing and cooler temps, on through the weekend. Still lots of snow in the woods.
