Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Excellent conditions. Slightly cooler temps on tap today should make for a great day of skiing. We didn’t warm up as much as forecasted yesterday so the snow is still skiing silky like with firm tracks and solid base. Might be a few areas with scattered organic forest matter otherwise nice skiing.We completed grooming Friday evening on the entire trail system. All the singletrack classic trails groomed out really nice and our the top picks for the weekend. (Roy’s Run and Western trails) 

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! 

Trails groomed for classic and open include Sap Run, Mother Hen, JibFly, Loon Return, Sukkerbusk, Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin, North Loup, Roy’s Run, Island Lake, Wavy Gravy and Twin Lakes. For skating Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, Single Green, Kristin’s Cutoff and North Loup.

Lucky’s Loype and Bullhead trail are snow covered, no grooming and open for bushwhacking. We have packed a loop on Bullhead lake and set a track on the perimeter for classic. 

Has been a incredible ski season so far. Great seeing so many people out this year, thanks for purchase of day and season passes.
