Cross Country Ski Report: Friday, February 27th
It’s another sunny morning over here! Fresh snowcombing will make skiing in the morning the best. Things will warm up later in the day, softening the trails. Our recommendation is that the most ideal window for both skate and classic will be 9:30 – 12:30.

It’s a beautiful sunny morning out there with fresh snowcombing and nice firm tracks on all trails. Get out there and enjoy the rest of this winter while you still can!
Cross Country Ski Report: Wednesday, February 25th
We received about 1-2″ of fresh snow last night and the grooming team is out snowcombing the trails as we speak. The tracks should be much nicer today with the addition of the snow, and the skiing should be just lovely!

Cross Country Ski Report – Monday, February 23rd
The grooming team set fresh classic tracks yesterday, and snowcombed all the trails this morning. The fresh snow we’ve gotten in the last 48 hours – about 3 inches – has revitalized the snow surface into beautiful conditions. The demo center and the Stone Turtle Cafe are open all day today. Yesterday was the 33rd Annual Junior Muffin Race! We had a ball watching […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Sunday, February 22nd
After a bit more snow last night, the trails are coming back to life! Groomer Mike is out snowcombing for the Muffin Race this morning, which means the Rolling Hills trail will be closed to the public between 10am-11:30am. Afterwards, all the trails will open back up for some nice skiing!
Cross Country Ski Report: Saturday, February 21st
We received a little snow yesterday and last night and the trails are open! We will start with grooming the practice field and demo area, and then move on to the main trail network afterwards. There are still some soft spots on the main network, so we may delay snowcombing across the street for an hour or two to let them firm up, but […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Friday, February 20th
The trails are closed today due to a wintery-mix. We should start seeing some real snow around 3/4pm continuing through the night, with accumulation up to 2″, which should put us in a good spot for tomorrow!
Cross Country Ski Report: Thursday, February 19th
The trails are open today, but we will not be grooming. I went out on Trappers Cabin today and it is very skiable! We still have a very thick base and though some spots are a little glazed over and the tracks are pretty washed out, the skiing was lovely! Tall Pines has a fair amount of debris and some of the downhills might […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Wednesday, February 18th
Due to freezing rain and glazed over trails, we will be closing the trails today due to dangerous conditions. Our hope is that we will be able to chew thing up by tomorrow and reopen. We do see some snow in the forecast for the weekend! Stay tuned!
Cross Country Ski Report: Tuesday, February 17th
We groomed the practice field today, but left the main network alone so as not to do any damage with the warmer temps. Skate deck is still firm and very skiable, classic tracks are a bit glazed over in many spots, with a few good sections still out there. There is some mixed precipitation forecast for tonight and depending on which way the temperatures […]
Cross Country Ski Report – Monday, February 16th
What a fantastic weekend with the excellent snow and sunny skies! While the base is still very strong, the warmth and sun have created slickness in the classic tracks. The skating lanes have been snowcombed this morning, and the hard pack is softening up as the sun climbs higher. Peak conditions will be when the snow has softened but not started to melt, probably […]

Groomer Mike is out snowcombing the skate lanes, and the tracks are still mostly in good shape, albeit a little glazed over here and there. Should be a fun day for getting out in the winter woods!
