Saturday was a beautiful day at the trails. We had to pack and set tracks on more snow than what was expected from Friday’s snowfall. We didn’t get much of a skate lane due to time limits. We will groom again Sunday morning and get a good skate lane in.…

Plans are to pack and set classic tracks mid morning, if everything goes right. There is 6 inches of powder now. Temps will be on the cold side ( 14 F max). Reports are the parking lot is in good condition. Sunday looks for warmer temps of around 22 F.…

We plan on Pisten Bully grooming again Thursday night with track setting late Friday afternoon. The forcast calls for some snow during the night so there will probably be a few inches Friday morning. 17 F for Friday. 14 F for Saturday. 22 F for Sunday. Next week looks very…

We went up today to look around and get outdoors. Amazing snow levels and lots of sunshine made for an extraordinary day. The parking lot is in great shape and fully plowed. A few skiers were there but its too deep to get any gliding. The snowshoe trails had a…

The parking lot was plowed out yesterday ( Tuesday ). We have not checked it yet. Thursday night we will get the Pisten Bully in and pack the trails. There is a lot of powder to compact so we can’t predict what conditions will be like. We will set classic…
