Cross Country Ski Report – Tuesday, December 10th
After cold temps last night, the snow has firmed up into skiable crust, and it’s a bit like spring skiing out there. Lots of stretches of trails are still fully covered, and there are also some thin and bare spots out there. Trails are open, and we recommend metal-edged classic skis, or skate skis for today. We are expecting more cold and some snow […]

As of yesterday afternoon, the skating lanes were holding up well, while the tracks were becoming thin in spots. As it has been warm and a bit drizzly overnight, the snow is wet and soft and we will not be grooming. We expect classic conditions to still be fair, but skating is not recommended today. Low temps and snow look to be returning this […]

We received more snow throughout the day yesterday, and the trails are in great shape. All trails are open and groomed. The ground beneath the snow is still working its way towards being totally frozen, which means that we can’t set classic tracks just yet; however, skating and non-tracked classic skiing will be fabulous today. The rental desk is open and the day lodge […]
