Trails are open! Dusting of snow overnight with just under an inch an light snow. Light snow continues Tuesday morning. Up to another half inch expected. The new snow should slow down the skiing after fast conditions created from freezing down as result of warmer weather on Friday. The coverage is very good to excellent and folks are skiing. We had a nice weekend of skiing despite the variable conditions. We groomed Saturday morning on the key trails, (Sap Run, Sukkerbusk, Twin lakes, North Loup, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Skaters Waltz, and Suicide Hill) The trails are set up now and firm. No grooming on Sunday as a light dusting of snow helped take off the hardness. We will be grooming throughout the week on select trails to have the conditions as best as possible. Still some great skiing to be had, use caution on the hills. Have fun and enjoy! Just ski!
Trails that have been groomed and open with tracks set: Sukkerbusk, Twin Lakes, North Loup, Rootin Tootin, Mother North Star, Sap Run, Wavy Gravy, Island Lake, North side of Bullhead lake trail and the Bootleg extension, Roy’s Run and JibFly. Skaters Waltz, the extension and North Loup groomed for skating. Please no skating on trails other than Skaters Waltz, North Loup and the extension of Skaters. North Loup also has a track set. Please note portions of certain trails will not be groomed this year due to change in the lease and management on AMA property.
