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

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.

Firsthand: Freestyle Grooming [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
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.

Firsthand: Classic [
] |
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.

Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
Most loops are groomed with tracks set; except for parts of Oak and Sally's Classic. I was classic skiing in well-set tracks, with good base for pole plants. The freestyle skiers found a softer base -- but still very skiable freestyle conditions. Groomer snowmobile has driven trail edges to firm them up for better pole plants.

JT and I cleared and rolled River Trail today. We also groomed and tracked Maple, North Loop, Balsam, Spruce, Aspen, River, Easy Entry and Return and Difficult Return. Expect a deep track, occasional heavy pine needles and sticks, some face slapping brush and a soft deck in places.

We were able to clear most of the bigger limbs and sticks from the recent storm on Maple, North Loop, Balsam, Aspen, Easy Entry, Easy Return and Difficult Return. Currently about 6-7K of trail has been rolled and cleared. It's very slow progress since there is a lot of debris and a lot of heavy snow to deal. Any volunteer effort would be grateful.

Decent early-season skate-ski conditions. Relatively thin and uneven base, but pretty much full coverage. B skis most appropriate, good skis OK with caution. No grooming since the light snowfall over the weekend. No classic tracks have been set this year, but folks have skied-in the classic-only trails. The warming/changing building is fantastic.

It was low 30s when we started and stayed that way into the early afternoon which made for pleasant conditions for a long, easy ski and we skied almost all the loops. The snow was soft, wet, and relatively slow but it didn't feel like it was actively putting the brakes on so you could still get some glide. There were some places deep in the woods with grass coming through but 99.9% coverage.
