All trails open. A pretty quiet day on Tuesday with just a few skiers out but the tracks were the best they have been all year and no wind, sunshine made for a spectacular day. Today air temps are warmer but with more noticeable wind. Sun popping out this afternoon making for great skiing! The 6″ of new snow Saturday evening and Sunday morning combined with daily grooming has raised the ski conditions to “mid winter”. There is good snow to work with and we can regroom much easier and clean the tracks out if any organic forest matter blows down from the wind.
We have been grooming daily on at least some portion of the entire trail system and will continue touching up trails as needed during the week into the weekend. We are pulling up the old base to help set the tracks and make the base more durable.
Groomer’s Choice for Wednesday : Twin Lakes The other two western trails skiing nice as well. North Loup nice for both skate and classic. Sukkerbusk always in great shape, groomed the most and a great trail to ski first time at Maplelag to get a feel of lay of the land. JibFly easy loop and the return of Mother North Star back to Maplelag from start of JibFly a good beginner loop as well.
Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. Mac’s Mess in between Twin Lakes is not groomed but skier made track and passable. Might have to take skis off for just a little bit. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path. The crossing on the north end of Bullhead lake trail is a bit rough. Take skis off and walk for the adventure! Lucky’s Loype and double green not groomed, skier made track. Watch for branches etc. on AMA land.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!
We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th and have only missed three days of grooming since that first snowfall.
6″ new snowfall past 5 days. 24″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 2-6″. Snow depth in woods 3-10″
