Ski Trail

Trail Report

A nice day of skiing on Friday. Off and on snow squalls resulting in less than an inch of snow. Second cold front moving through late Friday night, dropping the temps down below 0. It will be chill on the trails today but some great skiing to be had. Skiing is good to excellent! The trails groomed up nicely and should be a great weekend of skiing. Temps keeping cool making for firm tracks and snappy skiing. There is no reason not to ski with the good conditions! Remember, no such thing as bad weather/cold temps, just bad clothing.

Just under 3″ of new snow this week. Conditions are fresh snow on top of hard, compacted base of 3-5″ Snow depth in the woods is 4-7″. Total snowfall since January 1st is 11″. Around 50km tracked for classic, 15km groomed skate. Sections of trail in the AMA area will not be groomed this year. Areas of thin cover and rough in the marshy crossings. Check the trail report board in the main lodge for the latest trail information.

Yes, the trails are open! We have been grooming and skiing since January 1st. We groomed and skied over 20 days in November and December. Trail fee for non-lodging guests is $15. Ski rental is $15 daily. Hours in the rental shop are 9am to 4pm. The trails are open during daylight hours and in the evening (headlamp or moonlight skiing).
