Trails are open. Early season conditions.We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th. 9″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 1-3″.
Saturday afternoon we set another track on Sukkebusk and combed out Twin lakes, Rootin Tootin, Mother Hen, Sap Run and Mother North Star. West side is open but use extra caution, especially on the hills for rough spots etc.
Recommend skiing on Sap Run, JibFly and Sukkerbusk for classic and Skater Waltz for skating. Sukkerbusk has a fair to good track set. Some sections double track. To bypass the thinner Kamikaze hill segment, use Sap Run for a connector. Skaters Extension also open which is very skiable, just some grass poking through here and there.
The west trails are open but use extra caution if venturing over there if there are a few more rough/thin areas. Please do not skate on trails outside of Skaters Waltz and Skaters Waltz extension. Thank you! North Loup and Roy’s run have been packed and groomed but close until we get a few more inches of snow and can provide safer skiing.
The Hygge is open for day users to change, warm up with light snacks and beverages including coffee, hot chocolate. Store is located in the Hygge and will be open on a more regular basis once more trails are open. Store will be Sunday 12/1 from 12pm-2pm. Limited ski rental is available.
