Not just excellent conditions throughout the system, but beautiful as well, with the magic of snow-covered boughs on the trees. Reminder: tomorrow is Trails Day at Swedetown from noon until 5 PM. Free skiing and free rentals (first-come first-served). Bring a friend, check out new gear and have fun!

So much snow, such beautiful trails. Excellent conditions, great grooming. Only challenge was winds were strong, blowing snow and twigs from the conifers. Trails in the hardwoods were barely effected. The south end of Greenstone had a tree blow down across the trail. Wish you Yoopers would share your snow with the rest of us, but at least you share your trails.

Another 4-6" of fresh snow is tilled and tracked; base has now surpassed the 2-foot mark and continues to grow! All trails are in excellent condition, although new snow falling throughout the day may lead to tracks and skating. Grooming completed at 10:00 am.

All trails tilled and tracked, grooming completed at 11:00. Windy conditions have blown much of the snow out of the trees on wooded loops but there are still a fair amount of good-sized snow snakes in the trees, so be careful on trails such as Pine, Powderhouse Ridge, etc. Excellent conditions throughout the system, so there's no excuse of breaking your New Year's resolution of skiing every day at Swedetown!

For the last pass of 2017, all trails are tilled and tracked! Excellent conditions throughout the system, 10 inches of lake effect snow is magic. Happy New Year from everyone at Swedetown Trails!

All trails tilled and tracked. Get em while they're fresh! Lake effect snow is accumulating quickly leading to softer conditions later in the day excellent conditions prevail throughout the system with a 2-foot base. Grooming completed at 12 noon.
