Due to the historic warming over Xmas, coupled with over an inch of forecasted rain, we are closing all trails at Mt. Itasca for Sunday and Monday, Dec 24-25. We hope to resume "normal" operations next week. Let's hope for a Xmas miracle of snow>rain.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
Groomed with the snowmobile and Ginzu groomer to freshen things up after the warm weather. Just over 1 km of trail. Set a couple tracks, but left most of the old ones as-is (tracks will be former that way). Grooming plans: Snowmaking will resume tonight, and we will make snow when it is cold enough.

They have a loop that is just under 1k open. It was hard packed, man-made snow, but very ski-able. There is a decent hill as part of the loop too. There was also a classic track set well. Just a small amount of debris on the trail. Hopefully it got cold overnight so they could run the groomer over it again. All in all a great alternative to running!

Nice and deep tracks set tonight on 1.5 k of man made snow with plenty of room for skating, too. A dusting of snow tonight added texture to the firm set up.

Very good skiing on man made snow today for the first biathlon race of the season. 1.4k of connected trail is now groomed for skiing. The outer loop just under a k, with options for variable levels of difficulty. Grooming plans: classic track should be laid tonight if grooming goes as planned.

800 meter man made loop open with excellent skiing. Thus far just groomed for skating. Grooming plans: Anticipate classic track soon. Snowmaking over Thursday and Friday nights will likely result in a significantly longer course soon. Trail fee required, including Venmo option.
