  • Groomed and Ready for Skiing!

    In the last 24 hrs we have gotten over a foot of snow. All the trails were rolled (again this morning) and then the groomer was taken out on them to try and get as good of compaction as possible. The track setter is working wonderfully so there is classic track on all trails. Enjoy!

  • LOTS of snow

    Since Monday night we have gotten 8-12″ of snow at the park. All of the trails were rolled  Tuesday night but with the wind and additional snow that is supposed to fall that shouldn’t last very long. The hope is that we can get some decent compaction once it quits dumping. If there is no…

  • Groomed Sunday Morning

    The trails were rolled and then had a single pass with the groomer Sunday morning 2/17. Still having issues with the track setter so no classic tracks have been set.

  • All trails groomed and track set

    All of the trails were groomed and classic track was set Friday afternoon.  We got a ton of snow in the previous 48 hours (10+”) so it was tough to get good compaction on all of the trails. All in all, it should be pretty good skating and classic skiing.

  • Groomed Saturday Morning

    All of the trails were rolled and then groomed Saturday morning 2/2/2013. I was not able to set track for classic because the track setter is iced up left over from the thaw. Hoping to have that fixed today so if we groom tomorrow morning we will be able to set track. We groomed Thursday…

  • Groomed and Ready for the Weekend

    All the trails have been groomed and track has been set. Because of the large quantity of snow that we got the skate lane may be a little soft but from the areas I tested I think it should still be really good! Enjoy!!

  • Rolled Thursday, Going to Groom Friday Night

    Thursday night all XC ski trails were  rolled. While not leaving fine corduroy the skating is still pretty good on this surface. There was no classic track set. Tonight after dark we are planning to groom roll the whole trail system, lay down some nice cord on the skate lane and set classic track. Things should…

  • Enough Snow, Not Enough Time

    First the good news. Through the last thaw, snow, thaw cycle we actually picked up more base. When I checked the park right before the temps dropped it looks like we had almost complete coverage on the trail (but it just turned to ice). We should have plenty of snow now to groom and get…

  • Hoping we can start skiing soon!

    This picture was taken about noon last Saturday and Saturday evening is when the temps dropped back down below freezing after the big thaw:     Not all areas of the park look as good as this but we did keep a good chunk of our base after the big thaw. The plan is to…

  • Groomed Friday 12/4/2013

    All trails groomed and track was set for classic. The classic track isn’t super deep.
