Trails are open. Today we will be hosting the DL Invite Nordic Ski Meet. The trails outside of Skaters Waltz and Sap Run will be open. An inch or so of new snow the past 24 hours. The new snow filling in the tracks on the classic trails and slowing down the faster conditions. Very good early season conditions!
We wrapped up our fourth weekend of skiing and grooming of this season with the final day of the St Paul Highland Park ski team ski camp Sunday. We have been hosting SP Highland Park since the first year we started doing ski camps nearly 25 years ago and always appreciate the energy and admire the big kilometers logged by the older skiers and seeing new skiers progress with skills and development.
Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. Use caution on the hills.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz and North Loup. Note: North Loup still has some rough areas on the downhills, use extra caution.
