Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Awesome day hosting the Section 8 Nordic Ski Championships yesterday. Nice job to all the skiers and congrats to the state qualifiers. Thanks everyone that helped make it a great day!

Today we will be grooming on singletrack trails, Rootin Tootin, Bullhead Booteg, Roy’s Run and hopefully trails to the west.

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”.  

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 and sunset and under the full moon! Groomed 1/29.
