Trails are open. Warmest day of the week making for very nice skiing after a pretty chilly week, still was great skiing. Friday grooming planned on all the skate trails to complete a regroom of the entire trail system this week.
Thursday new track was reset on Rootin Tootin, Wavy Gravy, Island Lake, Roy’s Run and North Loup.
Wednesday track was reset on JibFly, Mother Hen, Sap Run and cleaned up the start area. Tuesday track was reset on Loon Return, Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, Bullhead/Bootleg Lake trail, Kristins Kutoff, Mother North Star to Sap Run back to trailhead. We also cleaned up the short section of Mother North Star where it shares with the fat bike trail.
We look to warm up nicely into the weekend with above freezing temperatures possible Sunday-Wednesday. We have have a good base of snow, a little dirty from strong winds blowing dirt off the Red River Valley, but as long as keeps freezing at nights, should be able to have spring like conditions. Faster in the morning before softening in the afternoon. If you plan to ski next week, we ask people try to ski before 1pm so we can better preserve the snow and makes it easier for grooming and best conditions possible moving forward.
We are excited to announce the return of Lotvola Cup on March 2nd, 2025. Click here for details.
