Another great weekend of skiing on the trails. Unseasonably cool weather kept the snow dry and crisp but deep blue skies and plenty of sunshine taking off the edge of any chilliness. The entire trail system except for Kristin’s Kutoff was groomed over the weekend including Roy’s Run, Loon Return and Island Lake trail on Sunday. The trails are in great shape and skiing is excellent. (If you have any trail photos from the weekend you wish to share, please pass them along to [email protected]) Touch up grooming this week as needed and any new snow this week will be groomed in. We will work on the transition zone from the lake to the trail for the Lotvola Cup which will be held Saturday March 7th. The compacted base 5-10″ and snow depth in the woods 10-24″. The deer have discovered walking on the ski trails is easier than walking on the crusty snow pack with fresh snow on tap so heads up for deer tracks on certain trails, in particular Wavy Gravy. All part of the experience of being in the woods and part of nature!!

Beautiful conditions. 1.5″ of fresh snow from Tuesday night groomed in on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, Bullhead trail and Skaters Waltz this morning. The variety of snow types with the base making for ideal grooming conditions and ultimately great skiing. Trails not groomed still holding nice tracks from most recent groom with this fresh snow on top. Bit cooler temps with single digits on tap along with a breeze from the northwest but with the bright sunshine and longer days, pretty much perfect skiing conditions. More trails will be groomed Thursday morning and on through the weekend. Should be a fantastic end of the week and weekend of skiing!! Photos below from Wednesday morning and Tuesday afternoon.
