Round 1 of the storm was rolled this morning, except Upper/Rattlesnake. Everything will be rolled tomorrow/Thursday morning. Being Birkie week, trail may not see any more grooming until Sunday at the earliest. Be careful off trail as the new snow is atop of ice and sheets off easily! Otherwise, it will be soft for several days.

The groomers turned the sheets of ice into a few k of skiable snow! Careful as you walk over all the ice to get to the trail, but it was good skiing.

Great job by the groomers to salvage some stretches of trail. Not ideal but definitely skiable this evening. Took a few loops on skate skies. Hoping for new snow soon!

Skied mid-day right as the groomers finished up. The recent rain has taken out a lot of the trails, but the Winona groomers have done a great job of keeping some trails open. It's about a 3k loop. Stay on the groomed trails. Thanks again to the grooming crew.

After much Tilling, scratching, we came up with about 3K of skiing. Access is from Yon's valley, from the parking lot walk toward the sliding hill to access the runout we made when coming down from start area. The loop is up Hanarahan quick left down middle trail continue up banked corner straight to main 5K. Left ski main trail backwards to first cutoff and back dow Orchard trail to Oval and complete loop. There's a few short connectors to ski and some in the bowl. This was our best option, the rest of the trails are Boiler Plate don't venture off groomed trails!

Our trails took a big hit from the rain. Trails are not skiable. Tomorrow we'll see if we can salvage something and file another report.

All lower trails groomed for skating this morning. The trail is very hard, fast, and icy. We were able to scratch up the surface pretty well on most of the trail, but there are still a few areas of ice to watch out for, so use caution! What little classic track that remains is very icy. There is some debris on the trails, but no bare areas...yet. Grooming plans: Trails will be groomed again on Saturday and Sunday early morning. We will continue to try to create some decent skiing into this mild weather. Happy skiing!

Main 5K loop, lower trails and inner loops groomed for skating this morning. All are in great condition and will ski fast until temperatures warm. Classic trails are pretty washed out and icy.

Piston Bully tilled the main 5K trail and ran the ginzu's around all trails. Very good skating and the classic track is pretty good.
