Riding on hold, trails are closed for fat biking at the moment. After a week of warm temperatures and no freezing at night, temperature dropping down to the mid teens Friday night freezing the base back down hard. It is very hard and icy and not safe to be open for day use. If conditions allow, we will groom and open the trails again.
Photos below from last weekend when conditions were the best all season!
Trails are now closed for day use. After temperatures above freezing all week, cooling down to the mid teens on Friday making the icy and rough conditions. The base has deteriorated making for unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. We are keeping the trails open for overnight guests this weekend since skiing might be possible in the afternoons today and tomorrow. Thanks to the skiers this week that braved the challenging conditions this past week with a positive Just Ski attitude!

Trails are now closed. After temperatures above freezing the past three days that kept the trails soft and wet, cooling down fast today to the 20’s. The surface is icy and rough. The base has deteriorated making for unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. If we receive significant new snow the next week, we will groom select trails and open again. With the base we have, if we pick up an inch or two combined with cold temps, skiing will be possible.

Riding on hold, trails are closed for fat biking due to warm, soft and wet conditions and no re freezing of the base. We can open up again for riding for the mornings if it freezes down the night before.
Nice seeing all the riders out this weekend!
Trails are open. Late season conditions. Temperature has been above freezing for over 48 hours keeping the trails soft and wet. Best trails to classic ski include east side of Sukkerbusk and North Loup and Skaters Waltz for skating bypassing the Bullhead bay segment. (cones will be at Sap Run to block off the Bullhead Bay segment) North Loup does not have track set but open for no track classic skiing. We will keep the other trails open which are covered and skiable but extra caution advised. Areas of thin cover, ice etc. but generally overall the coverage is fair to good. We will not be grooming again until it freezes down hard or new snow. With the base we have, if we pick up an inch or two, the base freezes down again, skiing should improve with a little grooming.
Grooming Wednesday evening on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk and JibFly setting new track. Skaters Waltz groomed. Use extra caution if skiing outer trails. There are some thin areas in the start area in the exposed open ares on the trails but in the woods the coverage remains good. Looks to be warm again today before cooling down early Friday morning throughout the day with snow chances on the weekend. We will keep the trails open as long as we feel conditions are safe enough to ski but use extra caution if skiing.
