Trail Detail
Notes
Mostly easy to moderate with a few challenging hills. Best known for good grooming and scenic views of the Brule River. Groomed for both classic and skating. Home to the River View Loppet Race in March.Trail Reports

It was a bit crusty, but very good skiing overall. The skate deck was firm and fast, and on Wednesday had about 1/3"-1/2" of powdery snow on top still that helped with control in those spots where it was crustier or there was a little more ruts from skis earlier when it was soft. Had good skiing everywhere and noticed the tracks for classic appeared decent still on the few trails where they were (Oak, Maple, Spruce, Aspen I think).

A cold start this morning but the .3" of new snow was beneficial to all the trails. The skate deck was firm and fast with a few ruts, the classic only trail had a few deep spots where my boots rubbed the edges occasionally and the fat bike trail was firm. A great spring day. There is no track set on White Pine, Red Pine, Nebagamon or Little Joe but the other trails still have a decent spring track that was set over a week ago. Enjoy!

Great ski on Sally's Classic this morning. One of the best skis of the year. Thank you groomer! We will be back tomorrow!

This morning was probably the best skiing and trail conditions at Afterhours this winter. The skate deck was flat, firm and fast with great control due to grooming for the weekend. Classic tracks were very good as well where they were set. A few trails did not have tracks. Spoke with some skiers also who did Sally's Classic only trail and they reported perfect ski tracks. Tons of snow base, should last quite a while yet. Get out there!

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]
|
I touched up all the skate decks at night as the Northern Lights put on an incredible display. The snow had cooled down considerably by 9pm and I was able to groom out most of the previous grooming equipment marks and smooth out the snow chunks. The skate deck should be firm and fast by Friday morning. Perfect corduroy was difficult to achieve with the crusty snow so expect a bit of a crunchy but smooth deck. I also groomed the fat bike trail. Get out early if you can since the trail will be getting very soft by noon. The classic trail was also rolled but not tracked today. Hopefully conditions will allow me to groom again Friday night for Saturday morning.

Great spring skiing this morning. Maple, Oak, Balsam, Spruce, River, Aspen and the Entry and Return trails were all groomed and tracked yesterday. The track varied in depth and quality and the skate deck was firm but had some occasional equipment tracks and scattered snow clumps. By 11:00 the sun had already softened up the deck considerably.

Still not groomed but skiing still fun. We used tracks other skiers have made.

Not groomed. Bummer! Saw where someone had gone out making their own trail with both skate and classic skis. Not for us.
