Trails are open. A warm day on Tuesday but the snow and trails held out great and was a very nice day of skiing. When temperatures are warmer, we groom in the afternoon and evening and today we groomed the skate trails and reset track on Sap Run, Sukkebusk, Rootin Tootin and Roy’s Run. These trails should be nice skiing on Wednesday. Other classic trails are in good shape, might be a few minor glazed areas. With colder temperatures forecasted for Wednesday, we will groom a few classic trails mid morning, most likely Twin Lakes. We are waiting to do more classic grooming on Thursday afternoon and evening as forecast looks to more stable and consistent sub freezing temperatures.
There is a great base of snow to work with and we will be grooming daily on select trails to have fresh tracks each morning. We tend to groom in the evenings when warmer so the grooming can set up overnight and have a better resistance to warmer weather.
Groomer’s Picks for Wednesday: Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Rootin Tootin, and Roys’s Run for classic. All skate trails should ski nice. Bit softer on North Loup and extension loops.
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!
