Big time snow falling on Saturday. As of 4:00 pm 7″ of fresh snow has fallen the past 18 hours. We groomed most of the inner trails multiple times this morning and also groomed Twin Lakes. The same trails will be groomed early Sunday morning and possibly North Loup for skating. Check back this evening for pictures of the day.
Another great day on the trails on Friday. Track set on Lucky’s Loype and Bullhead Lake trail and Island Lake trail packed. After Friday’s grooming, all the trails had been either packed/groomed and tracks set (except Skaters Waltz extension) Tracks have been set on Mother Hen, Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star, JibFly, Loon Return, Wavy Gravy, and Twin Lakes. Single green, double green, Kristins Kutoff,Skaters Waltz and North have been groomed for skating. Once we groom out this new snow, conditions should be fantastic. A few rough spots on the marshy crossings but overall the ski conditions are good to excellent.
Another beautiful day on the trails. Slightly warmer temps with temp near 5, plenty of sunshine and light winds. A handful of skiers on the trails and reports very good to excellent. Tracks set this morning on Mother North Star, JibFly, Twin Lakes, Sukkerbusk, Wavy Gravy and Loon Return. Lucky’s Loype and Roy’s Run packed and track will be set on Lucky’s Friday morning. A few rough spots here and there but overall the trails are in great shape for the snow we have received. Skate trails starting to firm up and very good to excellent skating condition with a few soft spots here and there. Preliminary packing on Bullhead tomorrow and possibly Island Lake trail.
A beautiful day on the trails. The sun was out in full force, light winds and temp right around 0. Cooler temps for sure but if you dress properly, it is like a day at the beach. Pisten Bully groomer in action, setting tracks on Rootin Tootin and Mother Hen and the end of Mother North Star. Just enough snow to use the big machine. Also tracks set on Sap Run trail with the Ginzu groomer. (groomer pulled behind the snowmobile) Skate lanes on Skaters Waltz and North Loup smoothed out and starting to take shape nicely. A bit soft in spots but very nice skiing. Jake checked out the tracks early this evening on Sap Run and reported great skiing. Tracks to be set on Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy, Island Lake trail, Mother North Star and Sukkerbusk Thursday and possibly Lucky’s Loype. We will also try to pack out Roy’s Run and possibly set track on the weekend. Trails still a bit soft but starting to set up with more grooming. Some trails more firm than others. It will be good to have skiers on the trails to help break down the snow.
Not quite as cold this morning with morning temp at -6. Clear skies, light winds, should be a beautiful day on the trails. Tracks will be set on a few trails and grooming/packing continues on Sap Run, Mother Hen, JibFly, Poki Loki, Mother North Star, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, North Loup, Skaters Waltz, Suicide Hill, Double Green, and Kristin’s Kutoff. Will set tracks on the above trails except Skaters Waltz and North Loup which will be groomed/open for skating. Lucky’s Loype will have a track set as well. Has been skier packed the past few days. Other trails will be packed later this week. A handful of folks on the trails Monday as the ski teams waited for the roads to clear out. Snow depth in the woods ranges from 8-14″ and we have compacted this new snow to a base of 4-6″. We were packing the during the snow storm on Sunday as it fell to get the most out of the snow and things are looking great. Trail photos below from Monday.
