Just a dusting of snow to report from Saturday. Few patches from earlier snowfalls here and there on the trail system. Cooler weather has settled in helping freeze down the trails. We did enjoy skiing over the Thanksgiving weekend up until today. We are ready for more snow!

Despite the record warmth temps the past few days, we have been able to hang on to a little bit of snow. We are still skiing on some sections just because we love to ski! The areas hanging on to snow are the north facing sections. Not great conditions but has been fun nonetheless. Chance of snow the rest of the weekend and the areas that have coverage, will be a nice base for any snow that does fall. Think Snow!
Riding on the mountain bike trails is done for the year and the last report of the year is posted.

The weather has been nice and it has been beautiful in the woods the past few days but not nice for keeping snow on the trails! The trails are holding out okay and doing everything we can to survive this stretch of warm weather. There was enough coverage on enough trails for a fun crust cruising adventure Thursday morning for a Thanksgiving ski! Think Snow!

A beautiful day in the woods. Sunshine, light winds and temps around 30. The snow coverage held up fine and skiing was great in the afternoon for early season. The ginzu groomer was out this morning smoothing out the 5km of trails we have been skiing on. Also trying to pack this snow down as much as possible, hoping it survives the forecasted warm weather.
A nice weekend of early season “rock” skiing. Cold temps overnight (0 as low) set up the trails that had been groomed Friday night and also froze little Sugarbush over entirely. We didn’t have any new snow Saturday from the storm that hit central MN but had 2″ Friday and a couple inches combined, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The new snow improved the skiing and also the coverage on the trails. We have 4-5km of trail open for skiing. No tracks set. Some rough and thin spots here and there but beautiful in the woods with the fresh snow and nice skiing for mid November. There is no charge to use the trails. No services in the lodge. Park, follow the grooming and ski! Best to start by cabooses and end out on double green. Thin in the start area. We are hoping to have a few more days of early season skiing than will probably have the trails closed Thanksgiving on through the weekend to preserve the coverage.
The snow covering the trails is a great start as this snow should stick with cooler temps forecasted and a nice little base for the next snowfalls. Once we receive 2-3″ of dense snow, we will resume packing and grooming the trails.

We didn’t have any new snow today from the storm that hit central MN but had 2″ Friday and a couple inches combined, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The new snow improved the skiing and also the coverage on the trails. We have 4km of trail open for skiing. No tracks set. Some rough and thin spots here and there but beautiful in the woods with the fresh snow and nice skiing for mid November. There is no charge to use the trails. No services in the lodge.

Many of the smaller lakes and ponds are frozen over and the ground is slowly starting to set in frost. Little Sugarbush was about 85% covered with ice Thursday morning after cold temps the night before but opening up a bit from wind today.

The trails are in great shape and ready for winter. A few sticks coming down from the recent wind we will clear when are on the trails.
