Tried the upper section, Moose Fence, from the parking lot. Good, deep classic tracks, but a thick crust over the skate track. We turned around before the big hill.

Groomed yesterday. A++ Nirvana! Fresh mid-winter corduroy with a touch of crust that further added to the fun! Classic trails had some mild drifting in spots which was getting skied in. Several feet snowpack throughout. No significant transformation as of 2pm due to cooler temps today so tomorrow should be great too. Huge kudos to groomers!

Beautifully set tracks by the pisten bully overnight. We skied East and West Oberg loop this morning, the skate lane was firm, a mix of some hard crusted snow and powder that we were able to get an easy edge when needed as we were classic skiing. The tracks were well set and firm with some areas of blown in snow. What great conditions for early spring! I used Start grip tape which was perfect. All skiers on the trails had smiles.

Best ski of the year. Skied very nearly everything. Groomers were out early this morning, so we were often among the first (if not the first) people after fresh corduroy was put down. Started very early and it was fun and wicked fast. By around 10 it had already warmed considerably and was getting soft and slow. Get out there in the morning, afternoon skiing will be far less fun both for you and for anyone trying to ski the next morning!

Late Spring conditions. Lots of snow, but surface is dirty and water laden. Need to be very careful when planting the outside pole or it will go down up to two feet. We skied from Britton Peak Parking to the Picnic Loop and back, but it was pretty hard work. Skin skis provided excellent kick and glide for the conditions. Scenery on this trail is the best in MN.

As promised, Sugarbush groomed their entire system overnight last night. I skied the connector trail from Tofte to Britton Peak trailhead, then clockwise on the Picnic Loop. Sun was strong but tracks were in good shape, occasionally glazed. Red Special for kick. Broke a pole grip halfway through my ski, a minor inconvenience on a beautiful day.

Took a road trip up to Tofte for my final ski of the year. So enjoyable to ski the Sugarbush trails. They were freshly groomed and in great shape. Lots of snow left in the woods! Parking lot was full, although didn't see many skiers on the trail. I skied all the trails from Oberg to Moose Fence to Britton Peak. They should have some great skiing for a while yet.

I skated the Picnic loop today. Lots of snow drifting onto the trail along the expert section though the downhills were still fun and I never bogged down in the snow- it just slowed things down a bit.
