Conditions couldn't be more perfect! Great base on the trails with tracks set. Groomer did a fantastic job fixing damage from a snowmobile. Temps are lovely. Light dusting of snow on the trail system. Lighted Loop is perfect for a quick outing after work.

Conditions were sublime! Imagine a perfect ski. I floated over 2 inches of fluffy powder on a firm and well defined track on the east trails. The west trails were being tracked and repaired as I skied. Some snowmobiles had made a mess of the west trails. Terry, the dedicated caretaker of these trails extended his day to regroomed. These trails inspire passion and reflect some of the best old woods skiing in Minnesota.

Recently groomed. Conditions are perfect. We had snow on Wednesday and it packed well and froze down. Two sets of tracks side by side. Tracks have been set on the Pine Ridges Loop.

Great conditions and great grooming on the trails. Well set tracks with a dusting of snow on top that was easy to glide on. Gem of a trail system!

Skied classic. Beautiful conditions, freshly groomed after yesterday's fresh snow. This is a lovely, peaceful and in many parts scenic trail. Highly recommended.

Today I skied the Golden Eagle Loop on the Wagoner Trail. Trail conditions are good. The exception is where a vehicle came off the road /snow machine trail and messed up the packing and grooming. Fortunately the damage wasn't extensive throughout the system. Very windy today, but most of what was to come down in the form of branches and debris was already down from the day before.

The trails have a good base. Fortunately some people broke the trail ahead of me after the last snowstorm but that was fine with good kick and glide.

A beautiful evening and night ski on groomed, firm trails covered with 2 inches of fluffy dry powder snow. These trails are an easily accessible old pine forest gem on 135 just south of Tower. A beginner loop from the parking lot is lighted until 10 pm. We used headlamps and skiied one and half hours throughout the rest of the loops.

Great conditions. It was cold since the last grooming and the base is perfect. We got a couple inches of fresh snow in the set tracks. People have been out enjoying the beautiful forest.
