Cross Country Ski Report (UPDATED): Friday, January 9th
After further inspection of the trails this afternoon, we are making the call to close the trails for tomorrow, Saturday. It is unfortunate, but there is just too much ice out there for conditions to be safe. We are still expecting snow tomorrow afternoon, but we will have to wait to ski on until it can bond with the hard surface underneath. We will […]

Temps dipped to 31 last night, so things may have hardened up slightly, but chances are most spots will still be soft. We are closing the trails at noon once again to prevent rutting and to preserve the base as best we can. The trails will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, for that same reason. Rain Thursday night leading into Friday will more than likely […]

Cross Country Ski Report: Wednesday, December 31st
After more snow yesterday, the trails are looking good. Groomer Mike is out snowcombing the skate lanes, and the tracks set yesterday are holding up pretty well. Solid tracks in some areas, with a few washed out sections, but very skiable! We’re supposed to receive another inch or two today and the good conditions should just keep getting better!

Groomer Mike is out rolling as we speak and will groom everything up afterwards to make for some good skiing. More snow is forecasted for today and tomorrow, so we expect to set tracks on everything we can. Still a bit blustery out there, so there […]

We are currently in the midst of a blizzard, we’ve gotten about 1′”-2″ so far and it just keeps coming. The trails will be open, but we will not be able to groom until this evening, as we did receive a bit of rain last night and we need to let the base re-freeze beneath the new snow. Some of the low spots might […]
