Trails are open. A great weekend of skiing in place. Conditions don’t get much better….winter wonderland! Light fluffy snow this week resulting in 3-5″ of new snow and daily grooming on the entire trail system making for very nice skiing. The entire trail system fresh groomed the past three days including a groom Saturday evening on Sukkerbusk and Sap Run cutting new track and skate grooming on Skaters Waltz and Eira Bikwadinaa hill. Winds have been pretty much non existent keeping the trees, especially on north facing segments, flocked with white. Sunday breezy in the morning with a few leaves falling to the deck but nothing to prevent a great ski day!

We have also have a loop on Little Sugarbush Lake “Lumi’s Loop” with a skate lane and track on each side. This is a fun 1.2km loop that makes for a fun ski at sunrise, sunset and especially at night with the full moon this week.

Today, Sunday 1/4 the “old sauna” will be available to the public. Please purchase a trail pass for skiing and a trail pass for sauna. Season pass holders no charge for sauna special today.

It’s been awesome seeing so many people out on the trails this holiday season and we deeply appreciate the support!

Skating on Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, North Loup, Single Green, Kristin’s Kutoff and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. All other trails are tracked for classic skiing. (Please no skating on classic trails) Sukkerbusk is a great starter trail for classic which feeds the outer trails and crosses most of the inner trails providing a good “lay of the land”.  

26″ of snow so far this season. We have been grooming daily on the entire trail system since mid November, only missing a few days.
