Very good skate and classical conditions. All trails were groomed yesterday, and we got 3" new snow today on top of that. Lilly's is about to be regroomed for skate, but the new snow is very light, so other trails should be ok. Looks like a beautiful week ahead.

Excellent conditions, with 2" fluffy powder over a 6"+ firm base. Classic tracks look perfect. Skate lane grooming planned for Thursday, should be just right for the weekend. Snow depth is around a foot and a half, just keeps coming!

Conditions remain very good, with a firm skate lane on most loops, except for some fluffy spots on the more difficult Troll Trail. Lilly's freestyle lane is a little "groovy" after all the weekend traffic. We had 45 skiers, mostly beginners, who came to Sunday's open house and free ski rental. There is a little debris on the trail, and we skied in the morning before the temps dropped out and the wind came up. We have no new snowfall, but groomers will still have plenty of base to work with sometime before this weekend. Snowshoe trail, 1.8 miles total with a number of segments, has also been well-used, and is the option open to hikers and dogs.

Thank you to Deane and the volunteer crew for maintaining such a beautiful and welcoming place to ski (and snowshoe, too!). Conditions for skate were very good and looked to be the same for classic. Get out and be about it!

Excellent conditions continue, skate lanes were groomed yesterday and are wonderful. Classic tracks had little use over the subzero weekend and are fine also. Grooming plans: Grooming will be done later Friday if possible, or Saturday morning. Open house with free ski rental from 1-3 Sundays.

Excellent/perfect conditions throughout. We have a deep solid base from the 18” new snow last week. Lake loop was just finished and track set today. Other trails were already done, but Neil regroomed the skate lane on Lilly’s and Lake. In addition to the ski-only track, we have a network of snowshoe trails, where hikers and dogs are also welcome. Open houses begin Sunday 1-3, if temp is above 0. This Sunday may be too cold — safety issue for kids/beginners.

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]
|
Groomers report all trails in excellent condition, with track setting on Troll in progress and others completed. We had about 18” total last week, so it took multiple packing and grooming runs to get things under control. At -36.4 F there will be no firsthand report from me today, hopefully tomorrow! My glide wax, fingers and toes are all only good to zero now.
