Today was on the icy side, but skiable and improving with the afternoon sun. I was able to keep an edge while skating and had a fun ski. The classic tracks are also holding up well as long as you can figure out good grip. I also did some crust skiing on a few ungroomed logging roads. The snow base remains very deep.

Great outing this morning at Timberland Hills. Did the alternate trail, Cervenkas Curl and came back around on the beginners loop. Good solid tracks set on transformed snow. I used tape in the kick zone and had exceptional grip the entire way.

Unbelievably fantastic! Fast with edge, not icy. So glad my ski partner broke down my front door at 7:45 this morning and dragged me out of the house. Still perfect when we left at 11. Way to go groomers!

Groomed for classic and skating this morning: Engagement Loop, Cervenka's Curl, Alternate Trail, Short Loop. Very good spring conditions on the trails that are groomed - there is plenty of great skiing! Watch the freeze/ thaw cycles to time the best conditions. Plans are to groom the Outer Loop on Friday morning.

We received over an inch of very wet snow overnight. Classic skiing was a little on the slow side this morning, but enjoyable. It's too warm and wet this morning to groom, but we are watching the weather and currently plan to do some grooming before the weekend. I was the first one on the trail today, except for one set of wolf tracks and one set of deer tracks.

Classic skied Cervenka's Curl to the alternate trail, around on the alternate trail to the "E to B" trail, back to the warming shed, out to Odden's Ridge Run and back, then to the camper cabin and back. The trails to the south of the alternate trail seemed to have been groomed very recently, but everything was in good shape no matter where I went. Looks like the Corkscrew and Odden's are the only ungroomed trails. Some leaf litter here and there, but overall very fast conditions, pretty much double poling everywhere but the steepest hills, tons of fun!

Happy spring Equinox! Very good mid-winter conditions this morning for both skating and classic. The snow base is deep. We plan to watch the weather and continue grooming at least a portion of the trail system.

After the heavy weekend snowfall, all trails were groomed today. Some trails are not groomed to the usual width, but all are wide enough for skating with a classic track. Get out and enjoy it!

We received another 4" or so of snow at the trails last night. This morning we groomed the following trails: Alternative Trail, Short Loop, Cervenka's Curl, and Engagement Loop. This will provide classic and skate skiing.

We received over 6" of heavy snow on Monday. We were out this morning and groomed the following trails for classic and skating: Alternative Trail, Short Loop, Cervenka's Curl, and Engagement Loop. Have fun! Conditions are good on the groomed trails but better early in the day before the sun softens it.
