Notes
Some of the best trails in southern Minnesota. Tucked in the valley behind the school, the trails run around the northern slopes of the valley making them quite challenging and also well protected from the sun. Some lighted sections, and snowmaking operations.Trail Reports

Grooming [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
After yesterday's warm and last night's cool down much renovation was needed to bring the trail back to skiable. The main 5K and river trails were scratched hard and should be pretty good for skating. We didn't touch the upper trails. No skiing on the upper trails is advised. The classic track is shallow and glazed with debris and can't be reset at this time. Use skis you won't mind getting nicked up but the trail is 90% covered and the few spots that are thin can be avoided.

Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: All, ]

The trails were groomed this morning. Good deep, clean classic track on main 5KM loop and great cord for skating. Rattlesnake was rolled for skating and looked great too. A bit of leafy debris but nothing that would inhibit skiing. All in all an amazing after Xmas ski experience.

Groomed the entire system this morning. Very light on the main trails. Combed out Rattle Snake and the Upper trails. Upper trails will be soft.

Grooming Scheduling [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
St. Mary's Trails received 5" of wet snow covered with 3-4" of fluffy snow. Tree damage and branches slowed the packing process. All of the trails except the Upper Trails were rolled and combed. We concentrated on the H.S. race course (meet scheduled for Saturday morning starting at 10, with 4 teams involved). Grooming plans: As temps cool, we'll get all the trails in shape.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
We received 5" of wet snow on Friday. The main 5K loop has been rolled and packed. A 1.5K loop of man made snow was also rolled and a classic track set on that loop only. The snow is heavy and slow as it's been misting all morning. The skate deck is in fair to poor condition and definitely use rock skis.
