Trails are open. Happy New Years Eve! Trails will be open on New Years Day and we will be grooming a few trails.
A beautiful frosty day with a dusting of flurries accumulating to less than an inch. The new snow did fall into the tracks nicely taking off the icy edge combined with today’s grooming on select trails made for better skiing. The coverage on the trails is good after the recent warm up. We have transitioned to cooler weather after a warm weekend. Sub freezing temps keeping the snow frozen and hard and icy like.
We plan to groom all the skate trails daily through the weekend and during this week will focus on the classic trails of Sap Run, Sukkebusk, Mother Hen, easy loop of JibFly, Rootin Tootin, and a loop consisting of Poki Loki/Mother North Star return on Sukkebusk. These trails have the best coverage and easier to work the snow. All other classic trails have poor to good tracks, very skiable but will be icy and fast. Thursday and Friday we will work on a few of the outer classic trails.
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 thedesignated 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″
