Excellent conditions, Eagle was reformed and classic tracks are set on all trails but Troll. Warmer temps could cause some glazing in the next few days. We skied Lake and Lilly's and it's the best this year. Open house Sunday 1-4. MN ski pass required.

Excellent conditions and grooming after about 8" new snow Monday. (We had a foot in Park Rapids). All trails are open, with a soft skate deck and solid classic tracks on a 6" base. As temps warm, a morning ski or timing your outing with a slight amount of melting will likely work best.

Spring conditions, with a good base despite warm temps this week. We skied on waxless classic skis at the end of the day, and it was fine, 42F. We didn't hit the sunny south end of Eagle, though, where it often gets thin. The skate lane was soft and mushy in the sun, with temps above 40 again today. Skating should be ok early on these warm days, after the temp is well above freezing, but before the sun burns into it too much. Awaiting the results of the latest typical March melange of weather Sunday and Monday.

Excellent conditions throughout, 1/2" new snow last night. Great skate and perfect classic tracks. Photos show that we are sharing the trail, at least at night! Looks like a pack or wolf family at least.

Trails look beautiful today after 2-3" new snow on a hard base. Groomers are out, so conditions should be excellent for the next few days. Sunday the 4th open house was cancelled due to wind chill predictions of as low as -37F.

This is some of the best groomed trails we have skied! What a gem of a ski area. First time visit looking to do some skate skiing as we were passing through. MN ski pass required. Temps in the upper teens with a slight NW wind. Freshly groomed with outstanding corduroy. They could use some more snow to hide some twigs sticking up in spots but not necessary. Groomer must be a skier because the trail was perfectly scratched for a flat fast incredibly fun skate deck but also groomed for classic on the right. Very wide trails with the majority being 12-18 feet. Parking area with clear map of trails, warming house and out house on site. Very well used and maintained ski area with an open house every Sunday afternoon. From warming house we skied out staying to the right to do the full course. Easy to understand signs at all junctions. On return to the warming house went a second round but stayed to the inside to do the Troll Trail. Very great ski worth the drive as a destination. Thank you for such a great ski experience!
