Rolled the trails this morning but didn’t set track. The snow is still accumulating too quickly to make it worthwhile to set track. Planning to head out this afternoon to groom and set track again. Should be in great shape this evening.

Right now the trails are rolled so they are compacted and have the 2″ ribs to catch blowing snow. This is good for skating and ok for classic. We won’t be able to get out to the trails to start laying down nice corduroy and classic track until about 4 this afternoon. Night skiing is…

Rolled all the trails the evening of 1/17. No track set. Parking lot plowed. Lots of blowing snow. Based on predictions, if we hit the trail with the groomer tomorrow it should be in mint shape. More snow predicted for Wednesday night!!

I was very pleased to see lots of people using the trails this weekend. Spread the word because the more the merrier! We ran the ginzu once around all the loops last night to smooth things out from the traffic this weekend. We also trackset the north loop. Hopefully the trails won’t see much use…

Let me start by saying that I don’t plan to do a posting every time I do anything as “significant” as fart at the trail park. Sorry for a bunch of posts in the last 36 hours but I am a little stoked right now.  Yesterday was the first good skiing possible at the park.…

Parking lot is plowed and the trails are groomed. Time to ski!!! Went out with the ginzu this morning to smooth out the skate lane and try to put down some classic track (Andy, you can’t say I don’t do anything for you:)). The skate lane is in great shape. There are still some “hairy”…

The park had about 6″ of nice dense snow this evening. it was wonderful to see a couple more inches than in town. It compacted down to at least 1.5″ which is more than we have had at any other point out there this year. Hopefully mother will keep this up and provide another inch…

This morning I headed out to the trails for a quick pre-work ski. The good news is that it was skiable but the bad news is that there are still some spots out there that are pretty thin. With rock skis it is ready to go. With nice skis you are going to need to…

We got 2-3″ more inches of snow in the last 24 hours so I went out with the roller again tonight to pack in the new snow. All in all, things are looking pretty good considering how much (little?) snow we have gotten. The above picture was after 2 passes over the trails. I did…

I made a trip to the park last night to check out the condition. Was really hoping that there was more snow on the ground than there was by the Big Lake. Luckily there was more but the soggy ground was melting a lot of the snow so there was only about 1″ of snow…
