The yellow trail was in beautiful skate ski shape today until the John Deere Gator (groomer) unfortunately broke down on the yellow loop (flat course) near the end loop connection and had to be towed back to the 42nd street parking lot with another tracked machine. The yellow trail (flat section) might be in tough shape for skate skiing until it can get groomed. The track set might be fine to use.

Red, green and blue trails are groomed and good to go! Yellow and Purple trails - please use caution on the hills. The groomers are working on them now but please slow down and use caution when you get to the hills.

Last week's heavy snowfall was great news for the Superior trails. All in all, the skate deck is about as good as it has been all season, with little debris (the usual spots) and the even grooming--as we've come to expect from that trail system. On the outer loops my poles occasionally punched through several inches in a number of spots, but conditions were firm enough that my skis didn't sink in much at all. Keep an eye out for equipment-made potholes on the big downhills on the yellow trail--easily avoidable.

Red, Green and Blue trails are all groomed and track set. Yellow and Purple trails are still in process - there is a lot of snow out there to pack so it is taking our crew time to get those trails completed.

Groomers were out today and have Red, Green and Blue trails groomed and track set. They hope to get purple and yellow done on Thursday.

Great skating right now. When I was there they were in the process of grooming all the inner trails. Conditions were firm and a tad slow due to cold temps and about 1" of new dry snow. Swix Polar worked really well. The purple connector and yellow had not been groomed yet but were just as good with a nice firm even base. Most of the tree debris was covered but there are still a few little dirty areas in the usual spots. Use your good skis without concern though. Kudos to the City of Superior for their dedicated groomers providing consistently great conditions all season.

Trails are looking great today! This dusting of snow freshened them up and they are groomed and ready for skiing!

Ski trails all received 2-3 inches of fresh snow. Groomers were out today and able to get everything groomed and fresh track set. Grooming plans: We will have grooming on Sunday again to keep everything in great skiing conditions!

Joanie and I spent a fun morning here on our first ever visit to these unique trails, which mostly feature lengthy flat sections combined with some steep, mostly straight, downhill plunges. We classic skied the purple and yellow trails, which had great views of cliffs, bays, and ravines. The track was a couple days old, but still in mostly good condition. We then skated the green and red trails, which were being groomed as we skied, so we enjoyed fresh corduroy. All the trails have some scattered debris and thin spots. Thanks for the frequent grooming that is done here!

Trail grooming continues to be going really well with everything being freshly groomed and new track set throughout the entire trail system. Base is holding up even with the few warm days but the few inches of snow we received over the weekend helped out a ton and filled in the usual icy patches. Skiers are reporting excellent ski conditions and we hope the weather continues to cooperate!
