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

Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: All, ]

Everything is open, but some trails were not yet groomed. I skied there on Friday and the groomers were out working a bunch of new snow and clearing downed trees. Sunday, I classic skied and it appeared that all the main trails were open, packed, and tracked. Sally's was not groomed, yet, though. Part of it was packed, but nothing was tracked yet. There is plenty of coverage at Afterhours and using your primary skis should not be an issue at all.

Beautiful ski today, trees covered in snow and sun was shining. All skate trails seemed to be rolled and groomed over last two days. Fresh groomed skate deck this afternoon. Still soft and a lot of work to ski but still good. Classic track was set, firm enough and felt fast. Overall great condition following the big snow. Great job DNR! Don't forget to drop a donation in the box for Brule Valley Ski Club to keep the grooming going!

The trails were in surprisingly good shape today, with very little debris, such as pine needles and small sticks, in many areas. Track has been set and the deck is firming up nicely. I'm grateful for all the hard work that's gone into getting all trails cleared, opened up, and groomed following the heavy wet snow of a couple weeks ago, and additional new snow that continues to fall. I loved the new stretch of classic trail along the small lake. Nice job!

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]

All trails have been cleared and rolled thanks to all the volunteers that helped with this huge accomplishment! Hopefully the temperatures tomorrow morning will allow for grooming and we can provide some exceptional trails for the holiday weekend. We did make a few machine tracks on some sections of trail today as the snow softened but hopefully we can groom it smooth in the morning.

JT and I groomed and tracked 4-6" of snow today on 15k of trail. Maple, Oak, Balsam, Spruce, Aspen, Loop, River and the Entry's and Returns. Expect a few sticks and some soft spots. I also skated all those trails this evening and was happy to see the base setting up well. The track was fast and deep too.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
After an equipment breakdown yesterday we were able to roll, groom, and track Maple, Oak, River, Balsam, North Loop, and the Returns today. Expect additional snow on the trail since it was still snowing when the grooming was finished. Expect some sticks and low hanging branches. Enjoy what has been completed. There is a lot of trail that hasn't been touched since the heavy snows last week.

We arrived at 1:00pm. No grooming had been done as yet. The previously groomed short classic trail loop from the warming cabin was just visible under recent snow, and the skiing on it was quite good. By the time we left at 2:00pm the groomers were just getting started.
