Ski Trail Report

Trails are open. Stayed around freezing overnight keeping the base hard and firm. Heavy wet snow falling this morning with around an inch so of new snow. Skate loop groomed and track reset on the easy loop of JibFly. The skiing will be bit slower this morning with the fresh snow and warmer temps. Just Ski.

Looks to cool down again this evening and will try and get one more grooming run in the morning if it freezes down good and should be nice spring like skiing on Thursday!

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 and with cooler weather tonight, should be able to have the trails open Thursday, depending on how much it might melt this afternoon. We will to groom one more time possibly Thursday morning.

Bike Trail Report

Trails are closed. 4-8″ of snow covers the trail.

It’s been a typical end of winter, start of spring with up and down weather. The trails have been drying out nicely but now are snow covered.

We try to update on Trailbot if there are last minute opportunities but best to wait until the dirt season is officially on….stay tuned! 

Once the snow melts off we should be very close to opening for the dirt season since the frost was mostly out of the ground.

Winter riding returns! April 2nd, 2026.

Didn’t get above 32 today and with cloud cover the snow stayed intact. Tracks renovated and reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. Also fresh track set on Twin Lakes, JibFly and Mother North Star. A 3km loop is groomed for skating starting out of the soccer field and using much of Skaters Waltz. 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.

Ski Trail Report

Trails are open! Awesome April day of skiing! Great seeing everyone out today. Beautiful sunny weather, felt a bit more like January with mid teens for temps and a breeze from the north! Froze down hard overnight which allowed us to groom this morning. Skate loop renovated and combed. Tracks renovated and reset on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. Also fresh track set on Twin Lakes and JibFly which groomed out really nice. Grooming pulling up drier/sugary snow after the melty day yesterday. Below freezing all day which made for all day good skiing. . With so much snow at once, the tracks are a bit spongy but for early April….doesn’t get much better..

Tuesday should be nice April skiing in the morning before getting soft and maybe sticky early afternoon. Just Ski.

Great seeing everyone out to enjoy the special bonus late season skiing! 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.

Ski Trail Report

Trails are open! A great Easter morning of skiing. Awesome seeing so many people out…thank you! Sap Run and Sukkerbusk groomed with a track set. A 3km loop of Skaters Waltz groomed for skating, also open for no track skiing. A full day of packing and grooming Saturday compressing the heavy wet snow that dried out nicely late afternoon.

We will plan to have the trails open until Wednesday but if it looks to be skiable beyond that we will remain open. Considering the time of year, best to get out as early as possible during the day for best conditions. Monday should be good most of the day unless sun comes out in the afternoon. Not sure how things will groom out moving forward but always enjoy the opportunity and challenge to make conditions as best as possible! Just Ski. Next grooming planned Monday morning. Depending on the conditions, we will also try to track out the easy loop of JibFly and Twin Lakes.
