Trails are open. A good ol’ winter day with great skiing considering the weather. Despite the cooler weather the trails were busy today with skiers and fat bikers and we put in a full day of grooming. We will be open every day this weekend, MLK and every day forward there is skiable snow. Sunday grooming planned on Roy’s Run, Wavy Gravy and the start and return of Island Lake trail.
Layer/dress proper and some really nice skiing to be had. Hygge warm and cozy with stove in basement to warm up. Snacks and hot beverages available.
Grooming today on the following trails: Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother Hen, Twin Lakes, Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin, North Loup (new track set) and Skaters Waltz/Eira Bikwadinaa Hill. The wind bringing down organic forest matter but grooming is cleaning up the tracks where fresh groomed.
Groomer’s Picks for Saturday : Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother Hen, Sap Run, Mother North Star and North Loup and Twin Lakes for outer loops.
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. Mac’s Mess in between Twin Lakes is not groomed but skier made track and passable. Might have to take skis off for just a little bit. North Loup has a track on the side and a skate path. The crossing on the north end of Bullhead lake trail is a bit rough. Take skis off and walk for the adventure! Lucky’s Loype and double green not groomed, skier made track. Watch for branches etc. on AMA land.
Skating on Skater Waltz, the extension of Skater Waltz, Single Green climb, Kristin’s Kutoff, Eira Bikwadinaa hill and North Loup. Please do not skate on trails outside of the designated skate trails. Thank you!
