Today pretty much a perfect day on the trails. Like I said yesterday, you can’t take anything away from other days this winter when there is great snow on the trails but with upper teens/lower twenties, sunshine, frosted trees and great skiing on the trails, it doesn’t get much better for being in the woods. The streets in town might be getting slushy but the trails at Maplelag are not salted and snow temps in the upper teens keeping the snow white and fresh. Grooming this morning on North Loup (skate and classic) Skaters Waltz and Skaters Waltz extension. Looks like some weather moving in but should be some great skiing for the weekend. Looking at the forecast, grooming most likely on hold until early Saturday morning.
An incredible day on the trails. Absolutely no wind, sunshine and upper teens for temps rising to the lower 20’s and a light coating of frost/fluff on the trails. Can’t imagine how the conditions could be better! Not taking anything away from any other day so far this season because any day with snow on the trails is a great day! Fresh grooming this morning on Bullhead lake trail and bootleg extension, Loon Return, Double Green and Mother Hen. Compacted base 6-10″ on average with some spots over a foot. Snow depth 1-2 feet in the woods.
Hard to beat a morning like today with temps in the mid teens, light winds, sun/cloud mix giving way to clear skies. Sunshine glittering the fluff snow from last night throughout the forest. Fresh grooming this morningh on Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, Sap Run, Mother Hen and some test grooming on Skaters Waltz and Suicide Hill. A great week of skiing on tap. Select trails will be groomed during the week with most trails re-groomed by the weekend. Compacted base on trail ranges from 6-12″ and snow depth in the woods ranges from 14-30″.
A beautiful morning. Trees frosted nicely and light winds to start the day with mid teens for temp. Fresh Pisten Bully grooming on Mother North Star and Mother Hen and Skaters Waltz Ginzu groomed this morning. Fantastic conditions. 1-2″ fluff snow the past 24 hours. Grooming Saturday night/early Sunday morning on Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, Mother Hen, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Lucky’s Loype, Bullhead, Roy’s Run, North Loup, Loon Return, Island Lake, Wavy Gravy, Twin lakes, Skaters Waltz and Skaters Waltz extension. Compacted base of 6-10″ and snow depth in woods 14-30″.
A beautiful winter day. Fluffy snow falling, mid teens for temps and wind blowing nicely from the northwest. Fresh grooming this morning on Loon Return, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy, Rootin Tootin, Sap Run, Mother Hen and a track set on the side of North Loup. Early reports from the trail all good and a excellent day of skiing on tap. A few areas of drifting but most of the trails protected nicely and some great skiing on tap. All the trails have been groomed the past two days except Roy’s Run and Island Lake and these two trails on tap for grooming Sunday morning.
