Trail Report
About as good as it gets for a winterlike day on the trails. Conditions were pretty much ideal for the DL Invitational ski meet today. Cloudy in the morning and then clearing in the afternoon with no wind and temps in the middle teens. Teams from Detroit Lakes, Bemidji, Brainerd, Long Prairie, Deer River, Fergus Falls, and Northwest and Battle Lake hit the trails with lots of smilin’ good times. Conditions a bit soft for racing with all the fresh snow but beautiful in the woods and could of not asked for a better day. Grooming on the trails the rest of the week as we gear up for the weekend. Select photos below from the day. More photos and results will be posted on skinnyski.com (go to racing/results and high school section)

Trail Report
After a early morning low of -27, temp warmed up quite nicely to 16 degrees this afternoon. A great day on the trails with sunshine and light winds and clouds moving in the afternoon. Grooming on Rootin Tootin in the morning with new tracks set and afternoon grooming on North Loup, Skaters Waltz extension for skating and Skaters Waltz, Mother North Star and Sap Run trails groomed for the DL Invite ski races tomorrow. The trails groomed up very nice and should be a awesome day of skiing. No school and skiing…doesn’t get much better! Pursuit skiers will start out on Sap Run before hooking up with Mother North Star and skiing it then finishing up on Sap Run for the classic part of the pursuit. Skiers will then change to skate skis and do Skaters Waltz plus double green and Suicide Hill and finish up with Skaters. JV classic skiers will do Pursuit classic course and JR High skiers will do Sap Run twice.
