Trails are open. A hard freeze overnight had the trails icy and fast in the morning but softened up as the day passed. All the skate trails were groomed and new track was renovated on Sap Run, Mother North Star, Sukkerbusk and Twin Lakes.
We appreciate the “Just Ski” attitude of the skiers this weekend. We look to freeze down again tonight and temperatures look to remain below freezing which will keep the trails hardpack and icy like. Monday we plan to groom all the skate trails again and reset a track on Sap Run and Sukkerbusk and other trails if possible. There are some thin spots here and there and we are delicately grooming trails to keep the base intact.
Trails groomed yesterday included renovating and resetting one track on the double track trails of Poki Loki, Sap Run, Sukkerbusk and JibFly. Skaters Waltz renovated and combed multiple times. Grooming improving the skiing but still fast conditions.
Classic only skiing on trails with machine set tracks: Sukkerbusk, Sap Run, JibFly, Mother Hen, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star and Loon Return. Roys Run, Twin Lakes, Wavy Gravy and the first and last part of Island Lake trail now tracked as well. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Also possible to skate ski the last part of Bullhead lake trail as out out and back. Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!
We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th. 18″ of snowfall this season, compacted base on trail 1-4″. Snow depth in woods 2-6″
