Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Froze down just enough last night to keep the deck firm. Should soften as the day passes. Will be skiable, expect variable conditions. Didn’t get above 32 yesterday and with cloud cover the snow stayed intact. Trails open and groomed with track set include Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, JibFly and Mother North Star. Top picks are Sukkerbusk, Sap Run. Twin Lakes is skiing well, use caution on the first downhill and extra caution on all downhills. A 3km loop is groomed for skating starting out of the soccer field and using much of Skaters Waltz and can be skied either direction. No tracks set on this loop but open for no track classic skiing.

Great seeing everyone out to enjoy the special bonus late season skiing in April! We will have the trails open until at least Wednesday noon. Depending on the weather will determine if we can be open Thursday and beyond. We will classic groom probably one more time but try to have the skate loop groomed into later week.
