First, I want to apologize for squandering some great snow conditions this past week. This big early snow caught us a bit off guard and we still have some prep work to do on the trails. For instance, we have only mowed half of the track so far because the snow kind of impaired the…

Alas, I think the park is done for the season unless you have rock skis and don’t mind hopping over some dirt and skiing on some ice. Our one hope is that we get a few inches of snow in the next couple days (as is predicted) and it fills in some of the bare…

All trails were freshened up Thursday morning I did not set classic track. The base is getting thin in a few spots. Most likely, this is going to be the last weekend for skiing at the park.

The base is holding up great! Wonderful morning skiing. Planning to groom early Thursday morning to freshen things up.

All trails groomed Wednesday night. We’ve gotten approximately 6 inches of new snow in the last 48 hours. I did not lay down classic track at this point but hope to in the next day or two wants it quits snowing.

All trails were groomed and tracked Saturday morning. The base is flat, fast and firm. This weekend we should have some of the best ski conditions of the winter so get out there and enjoy!!

All trails were groomed Tuesday night. Conditions are about as perfect as they can be. Plenty of base, few leaves, a flat and consistent skate lane that is firm but still very edge-able. I didn’t lay down any classic track because we see mostly skate traffic mid-week and the predicted snow in the next day…

All of the trails were groomed Thursday night because the temps were just low enough to be able to do it without the snow being too sticky. It was still a bit sticky and there are some spots that turned out a bit chunky but it should still be good to go for this weekend.…

All of the trails were groomed Friday night. There may be some soft spots because we were not able to get out grooming during the warm period this week. Under the crust the snow was very dry so it didn’t pack very well when the groomer went over the trail. It should setup well from…

All the trails were rolled Saturday morning. I tried using the groomer after rolling but the snow is so warm and sticky that the groomer just packed up and got stuck. Because I couldn’t take out the groomer, there are no classic tracks set. If we can catch it when the temps are lower we should be…
