Nice first day on snow with my EU group. Pond loop plus a stadium circuit makes it 1k, and we could see a Pisten Bully in the distance working on fresh trails. The deck at present is a bit bumpy in spots. I hopped in the tracks for two laps: they were rock solid. The wind at 10am was intense!

The Pond Loop is open for one way traffic. Please ski in a clockwise direction. Grooming plans: We will be working on the Prairie Pass next.

Got in my early ski, with the first skis to hit the trail this morning. There was approx .5 K available to ski this morning with includes the area in front of the stadium, and in front of the parking lot. They were working on the rest of the Pond loop flattening out the snow whales that were made. Snow guns were going on the next section out in the prairie.

The piles are being pushed around the pond as of 2pm. Some folks doing back and forth in front of the timing shack-only potion groomed. (I'll wait a day.) Additionally the guns appear to still be blazing on the southern portion of the 3k loop.

The stadium section of the trails will be open at noon today. We will continue to push snow around the stadium area so please stay away from the grooming equipment. We are working to have more trails open soon. Thank you for your patience and enjoy.

Eight snow guns blowing around the pond/stadium, not a lot of snow piled up so they appear to have been turned on this morning.
