A great weekend of skiing. About as good as it gets. Light fluffy snow fell most of the day Friday and Saturday, accumulating to an inch or two. Sunday clearing with sunshine off and on. Ideal conditions for the ski camp. (click here for more photos) We have been grooming around 30km of trail each morning, working in the new snow and cleaning up the tracks and skate fairways. 60 of 64km open. 4-6″ compacted base. 45km tracked classic only, 15km groomed for skating.   We are grooming Sukkerbusk, Mother Hen, Sap Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy, Island Lake, Rootin Tootin, JibFly, Mother North Star and Lucky’s Loype for classic and Skaters Waltz/ extension, Kristin’s Kutoff, Single and Double green, Suicide Hill and North Loup for skating.
The entire trail system is open except for the east side (4km) of Bullhead lake trail. The east side is closed until colder weather, which will freeze the thin ice areas.   A nice start to the season with 24″ of snow this season, so far.  The trails are open for day skiing and the current fee is $10 to use the trails until December 20th the fee will go to $15 (Maplelag ski reports on skinnyski and link to share ski experience!)
