Trails are open. Great day of skiing Saturday. Pretty much textbook “spring ski conditions” with faster skiing in the morning that softening just enough mid afternoon on the sun kissed areas before glazing over again. Doesn’t look to be quite as warm on Sunday so trails will remain a bit faster all day but still some great skiing to be had. The snow and grooming holding out great. Saturday evening we groomed Skaters Waltz, Sap Run and touched up the more used areas on Sukkerbusk.
We groomed on the entire trail system Thursday and Friday, renovating and tenderizing the snow. Trails are skiing well considering the melt freeze cycle.. Always use a little extra caution on the hills and be aware of shaded areas and sun exposed areas for changing conditions.
A fantastic two days for the Section 8 Nordic Ski Championships. Incredible weather and racing. Thanks for all those that helped make it a great two days and to all the skiers competing hard. Photos and results posted on Skinnyski.com
A few areas with scattered organic forest matter otherwise very nice skiing conditions.
Lot of animals on the move and tons of tracks everywhere, especially on the inner trails. Eagles, grouse, porcupines, fox and pileated woodpeckers some of the wildlife sighted….keep your eyes open!
Trails groomed for classic and open include Sap Run, Mother Hen, JibFly, Loon Return, Sukkerbusk, Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin, North Loup, Roy’s Run, Island Lake, Wavy Gravy and Twin Lakes. For skating Skaters Waltz, the extension loops, Single Green, Kristin’s Cutoff and North Loup.
Lucky’s Loype and Bullhead trail are snow covered, no grooming and open for bushwhacking. We have packed a loop on Bullhead lake and set a track on the perimeter for classic.
