Trails are open. After a wild Wednesday with blizzard like conditions, wind slowly settling down and a nice winter day on tap. The wind yesterday brought down a lot of twigs and branches but we are clearing them off. We did groom during the storm yesterday, setting new track on JibFly, Sap Run and Sukkerbusk and combing out Skaters Waltz and Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. We are back out today grooming, setting track on Sap Run, Sukkerbusk again and combing out the trails we rollpacked on Tuesday.
Recommend skiing on Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen and Sukkerbusk for classic and Skater Waltz for skating. To bypass the thinner Kamikaze hill segment, use Sap Run for a connector. Skaters Extension also open which is very skiable, just some grass poking through here and there. The west trails are open but use extra caution if venturing over there if there are a few more rough/thin areas. Overall nice skiing to be had, use a little extra caution when venturing out.
Early season conditions.We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th. 10″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 1-3″. The ground was very warm when the first snow fell and much melted off but grooming and cold temps helping set frost into the ground. Snow depth in woods 4-5″.
Please do not skate on trails outside of Skaters Waltz and Skaters Waltz extension. Thank you!North Loup and Roy’s run have been packed and groomed but close until we get a few more inches of snow and can provide safer skiing.
