All trails are tilled and tracked, but continued windy conditions across the Keweenaw means that the classic tracks will get filled in in some areas, and the skate lanes may be soft due to snow accumulation and drifting. Best bets are the wooded trails, where the snow build-up is minimized and skiers are protected from the elements. Grooming completed at 10:00 am.

A few more inches of new snow was tilled and tracked this morning and conditions are excellent throughout the Swedetown system. High winds may lead to some drifting and filling in of racks in some locations though. Grooming completed at 11 a.m.

All trails tilled and tracked to alleviate icy conditions caused by the recent warming trend. Enjoy firm and fast trails with the additional beauty of lake effect snow coming down! Grooming will be completed by 11 a.m. this morning.

Excellent conditions today. Skied Greenstone Loop and Valley Trail in the morning right after grooming was complete. It could not be nicer skiing!

All trails tilled and tracked, with last night's snow freshening the trails nicely. The skate lanes are solid, with a fine veneer of new snow that adds lustre and grip for the discerning skier. Classic tracks are firm and fast. Grooming completed at 11:30 am.
