A great first week of June. Temps running a bit below normal, sunny and light winds. About as good as it gets to be in the woods. Work this week on the new snowshoe trail, mountain bike singletrack and little touch up here and there on the ski trails and Jim has been mowing the ski trails. Ladyslippers blooming big time this week and also a nice variety of wildflowers in the woods. Mosquitoes coming out in recent days but too bad and cold nights keeping them less active.

A beautiful weekend in the woods. The woods have really filled out this week with the leaves coming out on the trees and the underbrush growing strong. We have been mowing on some of the ski trails and Jim has been working on a new snowshoe trail for next winter.
After rain on Monday night, the week has been dry and fantastic riding on the trails and mountain bike course. The course is open for riding and most of the intersections are marked with the key intersections marked. The riding has been great the past few weeks with no bugs and good sight lines because of little underbrush. A few wet spots because of high water but are slowly drying up. There is no charge to use the trails. The trail starts behind the Great Northern building and follow the maintained trail and white signs with black arrows. We have been working on the new singletrack located near Twin Lakes ski trail and slowly making some ground. We hope to have a couple trail work days and more information will be posted on this page. The new trail is open for riding. Head to Twin Lakes and look for the mountain bike trail sign. Ride the trail to the end and ride back!! We encourage riders to check out the trail and help us pack it down. Photos below from the new singletrack.
