Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. We will be open every day this weekend, MLK and every day forward there is skiable snow. A blustery day with around an inch or so of new snow. Despite the blizzard like conditions in the open, it was mostly protective in the woods and trails busy with skiers….great to see everyone out! We will be out in the morning tracking one track on the double track trails of Sap Run, Sukkerbusk and Twin Lakes. Track on North Loup to be reset. We will also groom Skaters Waltz. We will continue grooming other trails during the day as there will be skiers out! The wind bringing down organic forest matter but grooming will clean up the tracks where fresh groomed.

Groomer’s Picks for Saturday : Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, North Loup and Twin Lakes.

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 four days of grooming since that first snowfall we skied on after grooming. 

6″ new snowfall past 5 days. 24″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 2-6″. Snow depth in woods 3-10″
