Reliably perfect once again! A terrific track bathed 30 degrees and sunshine this morning with a rare N/NE wind. Super fun for both techniques. High school sprint competitions on both days over the weekend. Carpe Skiem!

Conditions were softer than usual due to warm weather. The 3.5 km perimeter loop is estimated at 130 or 140 feet of climbing. The base remains substantial. Skate deck is good to very good. Diagonal tracks are well formed.

Despite a strong North wind, the snow got warmer and sticky. There was still excellent corduroy on the lateral part of the trail. Skating was fast. Diagonal tracks were fast and holding up well.

Impeccable snow conditions today. Windy but pleasant temperatures. Well worth the ride (and trail fee). Thank goodness for Ariens this miserable winter.

Reliably perfect tracks and skate deck. 30 degrees with a stiff westerly wind. Appreciate how the grooming team tightened up the track runouts and pickups! Well done. Carpe Skiem!

The trails are always very well groomed, but today was one of the best ever. The snow is clean, well compacted, and fast with a wide skate deck. Classic tracks were also beautiful. Excellent skiing today.

Fun in the sun! Classic tracks like glacial canyons. A level & firm skate deck. It doesn't get much better than this (especially since the wind was out of the south, southwest). Take advantage of this gem. Carpe Skiem!

Perfect skate deck. Perfect tracks. The pesky northwest wind was the only drawback. The area received about j1/2" of snow overnight. Skied in 12 degrees under a crystal blue sky at 10 am. Carpe Skiem!

Crisp corduroy on a 3.5 km skate deck. Clean, well compacted and wide skate lanes. Diagonal tracks were substantial. The northerly wind was stiff, but the conditions were still excellent.

Classic skied the 3.5 km of trails today. Chilly, 16 degrees, with a south wind partially blocked by the wooded area to the south of the trails. Tracks were solid, deep and clean. Skate deck was very good. If you haven't been out skiing yet this year, try this ski trail. Trails are wide and smooth. Lots of hills, but most can be easily climbed with the right wax and the downhills are fun, but not scary or dangerous.
