Trails are open. A spectacular morning on tap to ski! Morning low checking in at 11 degree which is almost 10 degrees cooler than what’s being reported in town. Forecast calling for above freezing temps today but with morning temps in the low teens, no wind to speak of, the woods will hold the cold longer and keep the snow good. Still recommend to ski before 1pm today if possible.

Grooming Wednesday on JibFly, Mother North Star, Sap Run and Sukkerbusk. Along with Roy’s Run and Rootin Tootin, these are the recommended trails to ski Thursday. Rest of the trails in good shape, might be a few random glazed spots here and there.

There is a great base of snow to work with and we will be grooming daily on select trails to have fresh tracks each morning. We tend to groom in the evenings when warmer so the grooming can set up overnight and have a better resistance to warmer weather.

Groomer’s Picks for Thursday: Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Mother North Star, Rootin Tootin, and Roys’s Run for classic. All skate trails should ski nice. Bit softer on North Loup and extension 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!

We have been grooming and skiing since November 20th and have only missed four days of grooming since that first snowfall we skied on after grooming.
