Trails remain open. A beautiful day on the trails Saturday, great seeing so many people out and nice to see folks out this Thanksgiving weekend enjoying the pleasant weather. Bit warm for hanging on to snow but the base is holding out, especially on the early season trails.

This evening we groomed Skaters Waltz. No other grooming planned until more snow. Looks to be much cooler on Sunday. Trails will be skiing faster and probably won’t soften up much with temps forecasted to below freezing.

Best skiing is on Sukkerbusk for classic and Skaters Waltz for skating. Best to avoid other trails until it freezes down and more snow follows.

Has been a nice start to the ski season with good early season conditions. Great seeing so many people out the past a week, thanks for the reports and purchase of season passes. 

Total snowfall this season at 10″. Compacted base on trail 1-4″.

Winter operating plans include to operate for day skiing on the the ski, snowshoe and fat bike trails. (Trail maps posted here) Similar to the COVID season, there will be no services available. Parking in the far lot with portable bathrooms.No lodging or meal service. Starting Thanksgiving weekend we will have the Brant cabin available as a warming area with restrooms and sitting area and tables. There are no ski rentals available.

Select fat bike trails have been groomed and are now open.

Trails remain open. Nice to see folks out today enjoying the lovely day. Bit warm for holding on to snow but the base is holding out well, especially on the early season trails. This evening we renovated Skaters Waltz and the “big hill” for skating and also reset one track on JibFly and both tracks on Sukkerbusk. No other grooming on other trails as the base is thin and not enough snow to work with. Deck and tracks might be fast to start the day on Saturday before forecasted warmer temps soften things up.

Best skiing is on Sukkerbusk for classic and Skaters Waltz for skating. Much of JibFly is in good condition, bit rough on the far side which can be bypassed using the hill bypass. We are keeping the other trails open but extreme caution must be used as there are thin and bare spots.

Happy Thanksgiving! Trails open today. Froze down hard last night and the base is looking great today. Warm weather on Wednesday deteriorated the base a little but still very skiable conditions exist and there is some good skiing to be had with caution, especially on select inner trails. Watch for a few glazed areas on the south facing slopes before it warms up and softens again.

Poki Loki, Sap Run, Sukkerbusk and JibFly are best trails for classic and Skaters Waltz for skating. We are confident we can have good early season skiing for the Thanksgiving weekend on these trails. We plan to groom the above trails on Friday at some point, depending on temps etc.  If skiing on other trails outside the recommended ones, use extra caution as more thin areas exist.

Tuesday we reset at new track on Sukkerbusk, JibFly, and set track for the first time on Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin and Twin Lakes. Sap Run was tracked Sunday evening. Wednesday we packed out Wavy Gravy and Island Lake trails.

We also recently groomed the skate trails and have Skaters Waltz, the two extension loops off Skaters, North Loop, Kristin’s Cutoff, Single Green and the big hill groomed and open for skating. Skaters Waltz remains best trail for skating, extension loops are good, North Loop has some rough spots but very skiable. Skating only on these trails please.

Select fat bike trails have been groomed and we hope to open Thanksgiving weekend as we need a bit more time to prepare the deck and put out signage. 

Trails open. We are now up to around 35km of groomed trail. 20km groomed classic only and 15km groomed skate only. Got a bit warmer today than expected but the trails held out well best on the inner loops. Best coverage and skiing on inner loops during inspection on a late afternoon ski.

Yesterday we reset at new track on Sukkerbusk, JibFly, and set track for the first time on Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin and Twin Lakes. Sap Run was tracked Sunday evening and with the light dusting of snow on top is good early season skiing now. JibFly and Sukkerbusk remain the best trails for classic skiing. MNS, RT and TL trails skiable, few more rough and thin spots but combed on side to bypass the track where thin.

We also groomed the skate trails and have Skaters Waltz, the two extension loops off Skaters, North Loop, Kristin’s Cutoff, Single Green and the big hill groomed and open for skating. Skaters Waltz remains best trail for skating, extension loops are good, North Loop has some rough spots but very skiable. Skating only on these trails please.
