Ski Trail

Ski Trail Report

Trails Open A return to wintry weather with temps in the 20’s this morning and light snow falling. Around an inch of snow this morning. The colder temps setting up the existing base hard. New snow taking off the hardness and providing a improvement in the skiing this morning. Late morning we groomed, setting a new track on the east side of Sukkerbusk and all of North Loup on the side and combing the skate lane on east side of Skaters Waltz. Wind blowing snow into the tracks in a few spots. Saturday morning we will groom the skate lane on North Loup and the remainder of Skaters Waltz, minus the Kamikaze segment.

Best skiing has been trails we continue to groom. We have been grooming on the east side of Sukkerbusk (classic), a shortened loop of Skaters Waltz (skating)(bypassing Kamikaze segment) and North Loup. North Loup has been groomed for both skate and classic. Few thin areas and one short bare section on North Loup otherwise fully covered. Snow is dirty but skiable.

We are planning to be open through the weekend for those skiers that reached out about skiing this weekend. Temps looks to be cool and keep the current base in place. End of season conditions. Use extreme caution and assume all risks. With that said, there is some skiing to be had for those looking to get one last ski in.

No trail fee the remainder of the season. Park in far parking lot or along driveway where drier.

Closed for the season for lodging.

Snowfall past 24 hours: 0″

Snowfall past 7 days: 1″ Snowfall to date: 94″

Setting new track on east side of Sukkerbusk, March 25th, 2022. Some thin areas here and there, will be icy if freezes down hard.
Grooming on Skaters Waltz, March 22nd, 2022. New snow mixing with the old corn snow base underneath should make for nice end of season skiing.

A better section of North Loup, March 25th, 2022. Dusting of new snow providing an improvement in skiing for both skate and classic. Temps in the 20’s keeping the snow dry during Friday morning ski. Entire loop is covered. Just a few thin areas and one very short area that was bare along the slough but passable.
