Trails are open. Happy New Year! An inch or so of new snow the past 24 hours and cooler weather making for improved skiing today. All the skate trails and Eira Bikwadinaa hill groomed this morning. The new snow slowing down the glide just a bit and taking off the hardness and icy edge on the classic trails.
We have been grooming the skate trails daily and focusing 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 been the better trails to ski. Thursday and Friday we will work on a few of the outer classic trails. Outer trails have mostly good tracks and very skiable, new snow definitely helping but still a crunchy base underneath…..Just Ski!
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″
