Skied Silver, Northern Lights, Wynne Creek, Summit, Gold and Cedar Trails on this beautiful 29 degree day in the late afternoon. The trails are meticulously groomed to absolute perfection on a base of at least 10-12 inches after all of the new snow last week. However, a bit of organic matter was being released from the forest by 20+ MPH winds. Skiing is about as good as it gets here.

Skied Monday from 10 am to 1 pm and had perfect conditions on the gold and cedar trails (freshly groomed and mostly untouched). Lots of snow and the grooming was great. Be sure to use the complimentary chair lift ride up to the upper trail head either right away or midway through your ski. The views are great.

Skied all of the trails up at the Ridge Saturday. Conditions were absolutely perfect. No melting taking place, temp was in the mid-20's all day. Looked like it has snowed about two inches on Friday. The conditions for the upcoming state meet should be perfect...along with mid temps!

Snow conditions at Giants Ridge are excellent. Spent three days skiing and it snowed much of the time, which made for slower conditions, but I'm not complaining. The staff were constantly grooming the trails during the day, so about half of the time I was skiing on untracked corduroy. Didn't see a wolf, but I had some deer charging out in front of me.

Some fresh snow and colder temps slowed it down a bit from yesterday, but still awesome. Skied Laurentian, Wynne Creek, Summit, Biwabik Spur, Oslo and then back to the top on Bronze for a descent down Gold. Finally a lift back up and then down Bronze and Summit. Followed a pair of wolf tracks on WC and my wife spooked one Saturday on her way down Bronze. It stared her down and then vanished into the woods. Outstanding pisten bully corduroy and tracks on Northern Light, Summit and Bronze this morning. The only thing that would have made the weekend better is if the peripheral trails were groomed more recently.!

The Ridge is rockin'! Afternoon ski on Laurentian, Wynne Creek, Summit, Biwabik Spur, Bronze was fantastic. Followed it up with a couple lift accessed rippers down Gold. It is blazing fast and there is plenty of snow.

Great morning ski on Cedar, Gold, Summit and Bronze. Don't bother with Oslo....The sun must have been on it yesterday and now it is rutted and frozen. I skated, but did sample some of the classic tracks. Most are pretty hard and old, but a few areas have been reset. Hoping for some fresh grooming today/tomorrow.

The Ridge is skiing great right now. Every trail has full, firm coverage. Fast snow with good edge for skating. Come get some!

Great skating at Giants Ridge today. They have groomed all trails well after the thaw. Firm flat solid deck with nice corduroy. No icy ruts. Fast.
