We are suspending grooming again for today. Conditions have not changed and at time less is more. Anything that we would do now would do more harm than good.

All trails have been dragged this morning. Due to the freezing and warming and freezing again this condition is extremely hard to groom. I feel like we are doing the best we can with what we have to work with. Icy condition has been taken of for today so get out and enjoy.

Swedetown still has a good base. Trails were hard and fast this morning. Not groomed last night so challenging balance on trails closer to chalet. More corduroy further away. The Relentless had some avoidable exposed dirt on hill tops. Relentless and Pines trail and a few other places also had a fair amount of tree debris.

Grooming has been suspended because of the warm temps and the snow is melting. But the trails are in pretty good shape considering. The new Relentless trail is iffy with leaves and other debris and there are a few other spots in the woods with leaves. No rocks showing yet so still good skis.

Very small amount of snow overnight. The trails are still in good condition and tracks are still good. Warm weather will limit grooming.

Trails are still in great condition, considering the warmth and snow drought. Nice corduroy and fast skating. Some debris and a few spots where the dirt came through. But nevertheless, worth the trip.

Fantastic day of skiing today. First time here, already hoping to make it a yearly trip! The trails are beautiful and the grooming was wonderful. The black trail Relentless was churned up a bit (due to some grooming challenges mentioned earlier), so I wouldn't use good skis on that one - but the others were pristine. There were some snow bombs as the warmer temperatures melted the snow snakes off the tree limbs. Hat's off to the groomers, the people in charge of signage, and the kind volunteers in the chalet.

All trails have been dragged including Relentless and MUT loops. Track is in good shape and conditions are good.

Best skiing of the season today with warmer temperatures and another day of good grooming after the heavy snow (finally!j of the past week. Firm track, after being set for the first time on Friday, with occasional snow bombs and tree debris causing only minor challenges. Only trail not yet open is Relentless (part of the former Powderhouse loop, with some additional hill challenges), and groomers started working on that today. Thankful for the hard work of the grooming crew in challenging conditions.

Groomers rolled again this morning and we are having a lot of difficulty getting a base to form because of the extremely light and dry conditions. We should be able to gain some ground once temperatures start to get warmer toward the end of the week into next week. Not able to set track because of this current condition.
