Fantastic skiing conditions. Light snows off and on since Tuesday accumulating to around 4″ has put the trails back in excellent condition with fresh grooming. The entire trail system has been groomed the past few days except for Roy’s Run and Island Lake and these trails will be groomed Saturday evening. Trees were frosted thick this morning, light winds and early morning low at -5 rising to single digits above in the afternoon. Many comments of “better than expected” and “can’t believe the snow” and “pretty much perfect”. A few crunchy spots here and there but all in all excellent conditions. The sledding hill is in great shape along with the ice skating rink.  Should be a great rest of the Presidents weekend of skiing and winter fun.

Two inches of light fluffy snow falling on Thursday after 1″ of moisture rich snow Wednesday night. Fresh grooming Thursday morning on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star, JibFly, Single Green, Double Green, Suicide Hill, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy, Skaters Waltz and the extension and North loup groomed for skate and classic. The trails groomed up very nice with a few soft spots and a few icy spots but the snow that fell Thursday taking off  of the icy edge where the bottom of the trail is hard. Skating should be very nice with a blend of new snow and old snow. Trails not groomed today will be groomed either Friday night or Saturday morning. All in all the trails are looking very good with a base of 4-7″ and good coverage. Should be a very nice Presidents weekend of skiing.   (Photos at bottom from Tuesday and Wednesday)
