UPDATE: An unexpected 2+ inches of snow has fallen overnight, after the crew groomed. Good news: more snow! Challenge: skating might be a slog. Classic should be a hoot, though. After a little snow today, we groomed what we have open for skate only. The classic tracks are in poor condition. The skate lanes are fair to good. Open trails are main, mitten, kids cutoff, and lollipop top. Not having much snow and some warm temperatures has created a few spots that are very icy. On your first trip around the track, assume it’s very icy and ski with care. Despite the icy spots, most of the track is good. Be safe out there and have some fun.

24 Hour Snowfall

Track Conditions
The lower track has been groomed for skate and a classic lane has been reset. The upper track is groomed for skate and in good shape. Classic lane is good in most areas. The bridges are holding with snow coverage but narrowing in certain spots. Hopefully this overnight snow continues throughout the day for some even better coverage! Have a great Presidents’ Day!!

Dust on crust. So far the “storm” has just dusted the firm and icy crust that yesterday’s heat created. We’re hoping that more snow will continue all day. We’ll be smoothing the tracks, but not enough new snow to reset classic yet. Cross your fingers. Skating should be a little sticky but good early with a very firm base. Snow is expected all day so we’ll update later if needed. Please ski safe and watch for ruts and icy patches beneath the dusting. Please remember to wear your mask while indoors at the Nordic Center. Help us help you stay healthy. If you don’t have a pass, please drop your trail fees in the lock-box on the Farm Trail. It is a fee area in the Winter. Grooming doesn’t happen by magic.

Monday morning update: It is snowing as of 7 A.M. and should continue to do so most of the day, with the bulk of the snow falling between 11 A.M. and 5 P.M. Perhaps two inches by sunset. We will let the snow settle today, so expect tough conditions for skate. Classic should be fun.

Another Spring Holiday. All trails smoothed and open. Very exciting skiing early with a hard track. If you are a beginner or a bit less interested in hard track conditions, best skiing will be between about 10:30 and 2. After that you’ll be making ruts in the soft stuff. Watch for mixed icy/packed powder/cold/slushy conditions through the day and adjacent to each other. SPF50+ with red wax and structure. Please be patient on this busy weekend and wear your mask while indoors to help keep everyone safe and healthy.

Please purchase and display your pass. If we ask to see it please don’t be rude. Poaching trails is poor form and incredibly selfish. (it’s also theft)

Stay safe and ski safe!

All open trails groomed Friday night. New classic and skate on Main, Mitten and Kids. Lolli-top groomed for skate. Skate is best before noon, classic is best after noon, especially if you are skiing on fishscales…enjoy!

Woo-hoo! Finally some new snow! We groomed Spruces and Jordan Pines today and re-set classic track. The classic track is good for the most part, but on the tree wells on the north sides of the loops (where we usually have thinner snow) it set very thinly. It was very pretty this morning and skiing should be nice. Hopefully we get some more good snow this week.

Main, Mitten, Boomerang, Kids groomed Thursday night by Leigh for skate. Skate is best before noon, classic is best after noon, especially if you are skiing on fishscales. It will get thin Saturday and Sunday, but perhaps we get a refresher on Monday.
