Ski Trail

Ski Trail Report

Trails open. An inch or two of dry fluffy snow the past 24 hours with temps down to the single digits. Grooming on 22km of trail this morning. We combed out the 15km of skate only trails and reset a track on Sukkebusk and JibFly. The new snow improving the conditions and making for better skiing.

Recommended trails to ski with the best coverage is on Sukkerbusk and JibFly for classic and Skaters Waltz for skating. We have been working on Skaters Waltz this week, tenderizing the deck and shoveling on thin areas.

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

Total snowfall this season at 12″. 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. 

Ski trail season passes can be purchased on our website. (scroll down to bottom of page) Purchasing season pass helps with operating and maintenance costs to prepare the trails, equipment repairs to the grooming equipment and property taxes. Thank you.
