Recommended to park in far lot and use Loon Return to access the west trails and northern trails. Trails used for the Section races include a short section of Sukkebusk, JibFly, most of Mother North Star (opposite direction) and Sap Run for classic. Skaters Waltz for the skate race. Lunch will be available in the Candy Store lodge.
Groomer’s Picks for Monday: Roy’s Run, Rootin Tootin, Wavy Gravy, and Twin Lakes. Skaters Waltz great shape for skating, North Loup bit softer deck but skiing just fine.
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 Island Lake. 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 thedesignated 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.
5″ new snowfall past 48 hours. 10″ new snow past 12 days. 29″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 4-7″. Snow depth in woods 6-14″
Season and day passes can be purchased here. A purchase of a season pass helps us maintain the trails year round and provide the best skiing possible even in low snow year. Thank you!
Setting track on Bullhead Lake trail, February 2nd, 2025. This is the most we have groomed Bullhead in a season! One of the favorite trails to groom and ski. Lots of deer wintering in the area as well.Cutting track on Bullhead lake to access Bullhead lake trail, February 2nd, 2025. Having a track on the lake requires a lot of grooming as just a little wind will fill in the tracks with snow. Setting new track on Roy’s Run, February 2nd, 2025.
