After the morning groom, the entire trail system has been groomed 1-3 times the past four days including the short cut over trails. Skiing conditions are excellent.  Dusting of snow the past 24 hours. The compacted base on the trail is 6-9″ and the snow depth in the woods is 16-20″.  Skaters Waltz, the extension of Skaters and North Loup groomed for skating and all other trails have a either a single track set or double tracks. North Loup also has a track set on the side for classic skiing and open for skating as well. Should be a great weekend of skiing with ideal temps and good snow.  Refresh grooming on Sunday morning.

Another beautiful winter day on the trails. With lots of snow, pretty much every day is beautiful. Another morning with negative temps as -15 recorded this morning. Warming up a bit with sun cloud/mix before all sunshine, light winds and single digits above. Grooming this morning on Mother Hen, Sap Run, Lucky’s Loype, Bullhead, the “toot” and Debbie Woodles Cutoff!! Ski conditions are excellent and with cold temps, it has been a good old fashioned like winter so far. The storm watch for the next 24 hours has been downgraded a bit but either way we plan on grooming most of the trails tomorrow for the weekend skiers and should be another fantastic weekend of skiing.
