Trails are open. A quiet weekend on the trails with cold temps keeping folks away but ones that did go out reported nice skiing and conditions are beautiful. Today we reset the tracks for the courses for the North Star Conference race on Tuesday that will be held in the afternoon on Sap Run, Mother North Star and a short section of Sukkerbusk on the start points. All other trails are open in the afternoon.
2″ of snow Thursday evening. Grooming Friday on all the inner trails and a new track set on Twin Lakes to the west and North Loup to the north. Tracksetting occurred in the afternoon once the wind settled down but might be a few small areas where drifted.
Lot of animals on the move and tons of tracks everywhere, especially on the inner trails. Eagles, grouse, porcupines, fox and pileated woodpeckers some of the wildlife sighted….keep your eyes open!
