Light snow this morning giving way to flurries early this afternoon. Forecast still calling for accumulating snow later this afternoon. We have packed a few of the trails but waiting for more snow to resume any more grooming. We have been skiing on a loop, connecting the better part of the trails but need 3-5″ additional snowfall to open the trails. Forecast looks good rest of the week!

Light snow falling Sunday morning. A couple inches possible today. A check of the trails packed yesterday found okay skiing in spots and still very thin in others. Forecast looks good the next few days. Getting closer to having the trails open!

Another clipper rolled through last night, leaving a dusting of fresh snow. Pretty dry snow and not quite enough to begin packing the trails, even though we tested some new grooming equipment. Temps plenty cold with single digits this morning. Chance of more snow on Sunday and most of next week. The snow we have is a good start and won’t be long to begin more grooming. Skiing on the lake a bit better with more snow but some spots cleared from the wind.

Dusting of snow on the trails as we continue to wait for an accumulating snowfall. Chance of light snow tonight and off and on through the weekend as a series of “clippers” forecasted to move through the next few days. It won’t be long and everything set to get the trails open for skiing.
