Couldn’t of asked for better conditions for the last weekend of February.  Sunday on tap for more bright sunshine, light winds and pleasant temps. Tracks have been skiing quick and holding throughout the day with just a few areas of glazing in the direct sunshine. We groomed last night on Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, Mother Hen, Skaters Waltz and the extension for fresh groom skiing today. Skiing is excellent on a compacted base of 5-10″.

The month of February is wrapping up to be one for the record books for ski conditions. Hard to top the conditions on the trails today, wrapping up a fantastic week. Wow. Can definitely tell March is right around the corner with the sunshine blaring and longer days. Fresh grooming this morning on all the skate trails including North Loup which had new track set as well. Also new tracks set on Bullhead, Wavy Gravy, Twin Lakes, Mother Hen and Mother North Star. Skiing is excellent on a compacted base of 5-10″ and snow depth in the woods 15-30″.

About as good as it gets ski conditions. After a early morning low of -22, temp warmed up to upper single digits with bright sunshine making it feel even warmer and light winds. Fresh grooming this morning on Rootin Tootin, Roy’s Run, Island Lake, and Lucky’s Loype. All the trails groomed the past few days except for Mother North Star.  Ski conditions are excellent on packed powder conditions with a 5-10″ base and snow depth in the woods 15-30″. We also groomed out the lake for the Lotvola Cup start and the transition area from lake to trail this week.
