We did more marking of the Yellow trail today and it was again freshly groomed and in impeccable shape! The snow depth is great for the trails and they will be in tip top shape on Sunday morning for the Stride, Ride, Glide Tri! Cord is awesome, hills are in super shape too! Huge thank you to those groomers for their hard work!

I was out marking the trail for Sunday's Stride, Ride, Glide Tri and the groomers have been working overtime beyond the 7 workdays a week they normally work to make it impeccable! It's always a treat to ski the Superior Municipal Forest trails and know there will be fresh cord and new tracks. The yellow trail was in perfect shape for both skate and classic. Sundays event supports the groomers and conditions should be prime!

The groomers are hoping to have everything groomed by the end of today (may only miss the purple loop if they run out of time). They also reset track on all of the Red and Green loops. They hope to have fresh track set on the Blue, Purple and Yellow tomorrow. This Sunday, a winter triathlon is being held on our trails, which means the yellow and part of the purple will be closed from approximately 6 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

The city of Superior definitely has its priorities in order. Green and red groomed to perfection less than 12 hours after a major storm that I think dumped more on this side of the bridge. The new snow had ideal moisture content and the skate deck compacted nicely. Skis were flying out there tonight.

I love a city that grooms the trails before the roads are plowed! The road to the yellow trail had deep snow that only a 4 wheel vehicle could easily get through! We ran into the groomer with his new fancy equipment just as he was finishing up his artwork on the trail! The hilly side of the loop was impeccably groomed for skate and the flat side had classic tracks too. This is a mute point now, due to the heavy falling snow, but they will be back out working hard daily to get the trails in super shape for the Stride, Ride, Glide Tri next Sunday!

Skied yellow, green, red, and purple loops this afternoon. Fantastic snow coverage after the last couple snow falls we've had. Also groomer has done excellent. Only a couple small segments not groomed. Classic track was set on most of the trail, the only spot I don't remember seeing it was on the yellow trails on your way out. But yellow trails on the way back was set. No grass or rocks showing at all. Loving all this snow!

After packing and grooming the yellow trail today, our groomer was unable to set track. Weather dependent, this will be completed tomorrow.

The groomer is setting track on the yellow trail today and by end of day, track should be set on all trails. We now have sufficient snow that the blue trail has reopened.

The red and green were tracked and in great condition. Yellow hadn't been groomed yet and the parking lot on 42 not plowed.

The trails are being packed today and will be groomed for skate skiing by late afternoon. Track will be set later in the week.
