Some of the best ski trails in the metro area. Fantastic night skiing on their lighted trails! New in 2003, a 2.5K man-made snow loop.Trail Reports

Man-made loop was in great shape. Tracks were firm. I thought the warmer temps and a little sugar snow would be a good day to get the skin skis out. Ultimately kicked okay, but not great. They were moving snow on the last portion of the man-made loop. Would expect that to be open soon!

The skate deck and classic tracks were in excellent shape this morning. The South Donut is still not open although the big piles of snow have been knocked down and spread out some.

The man-made snow trails were in good shape. There were school meets this afternoon, but the tracks are still well defined.

Good conditions, some corn on hills, generally an awesome man-made snow loop. My first time there but would go back. Was busy for a short while but over an hour and a half we had light traffic.

Snowmaking loop: Good conditions for classic and skate lane felt good also. Uphills did have some corn developing by noon. Snow was fast otherwise except for a few spots were snowmaking snow was mixing in. Still just 2K open and they were mostly only blowing snow on the downhill area.

The natural snow trails are toast. Despite that insidious night time melting the manmade was pretty good albeit slow in the 50F temps. A good classical track and the skate lane was surprisingly firm. My skins worked well and another skier had some Karhu hydro bases that had good kick and another had klister which also kicked OK. Hope the trails survive the warm weather.

They only have the 1k snowmaking loop open. It looked like they were going to try and make snow on the rest of the man-made loop. The tracks were well set and I had no problems with sticking. They also weren't icey. I got there about 2:45 and high school practice started about 3pm, but there was only one other classic skier out.

Elm snowmaking course is back to the small loop down to the practice area and including the North Donut. The trail from the practice area to the South Donut and the return up the big hill was closed for snowmaking. I did not see guns running on the South Donut. The course that was open was in very good shape.

Fast-track classic had as usual picture-perfect conditions although a bit slow. Skating on the natural-snow trails was actually pretty good - firm with good coverage. I used B skis but you could use good skis if careful. Skated Lake and Monarch trails and virtually no dirt was showing anywhere.
