Greetings, skiers! What a way to start the season! We have received about 10-12″ of snow since Thanksgiving. A great many skiers have enjoyed the copious snow and rustic conditions on the trails, which thus far have been ungroomed due to the moisture in the snow. Now that the snow has dried out and the ground has gotten colder, Groomer Mike will roll/pack the

What an amazing Thanksgiving gift! We received 8″ of fresh snow over the past 2 days and the snowy woods are a welcome sight! The ground is still not quite frozen, so we will not be grooming today, but the trails are open for powder skiing and rentals. Our plan is to at least pack the snow sometime before tomorrow evening, and then if

Ski Report: Thank you all for a fabulous ski season! This will be the last ski report until we get more snow, in which case we will send out another ski report. The trails are taking a hit each day with the warm temps and sun, and the overnight re-freezing is creating ice out there. Trails are open but marginal. The Manitou trail is

The skiing was wonderful yesterday, and while the sun created a bit more ice for today’s conditions, Groomer Mike snowcombed all the trails with the exception of Tall Pines and Wild Turkey last night, and we expect conditions to be good to great. The skiing should be fast and fun! There is not enough conformable snow to create new tracks, but the old tracks

Amazingly,most of the trails are still in pretty good shape! Groomer Mike snowcombed almost everything today, with the exception of Tall Pines and Wild Turkey. Manitou has some slick sections that we plan to chew up and smooth out. Skate lanes are good on everything else. There may be some crusty spots at the bottom of hills, but the skiing should be fast and

After rain, wind, and a half inch of fresh snow, the trails are quite skiable, and the surface is a mixture of crust and fresh snow. Remarkably, the tracks are still pretty nice with the fresh snow in them! We plan to snow comb tomorrow (Friday), and while fresh classic tracks will unlikely be possible, we expect the skate lanes to offer some really

This will be the last day of grooming for a few days. Groomer Butch will snow comb all the trails this morning. Expect many great stretches, fast downhills, occasional crusty spots, and bits of debris from the wind. Classic tracks are glazed over. Please be warned that Manitou has some large ruts crossing the trail at the powerlines that need to be traversed with

Happy spring skiing! Groomer Mike will snow comb Rolling Hills, Trappers cabin, Mackinaw Cut and Wild Turkey this morning. Tall Pines and Adventure are open, but ungroomed, as the snow needs to freeze up a bit more to handle the groomer. Expect many great stretches, fast downhills, occasional crusty spots, bits of debris from the wind and possibly some damp spots in the lower

After a light dusting of snow yesterday, and cold temps overnight, Groomer Mike was able to snow comb Rolling Hills, Trappers cabin, Mackinaw Cut and Wild Turkey. Tall Pines and Adventure need a little more time to freeze back up. Expect many great stretches, occasional crusty spots, bits of debris from the wind and possibly some damp spots in the lower areas. Classic tracks

After a little dusting of snow, the trails are still in good shape, albeit a little crusty. No grooming today. Things will soften up later this afternoon, and we’ll see a wintery mix giving way to snow in the evening. Cold temps will arrive tomorrow on the back of a blustery SE wind through the night. We will at least be able to snowcomb
