Trail was groomed today after 3+ inches of snow. Conditions are perfect, tracks nice and deep. Come on out.

I arrived at 2:30 PM and was amazed to see only one other car in the lot on a gorgeous Sunday in February. Grooming was excellent with almost no debris on trails. I always enjoy the remote feeling feeling of the beauteous coniferous forest at Mother Bear. Many thanks to the groomer for his tireless efforts to maintain this first rate trail system.

The trails are in terrific shape this morning. Friday's grooming still looks good. Very little debris on the trails and only a few people out today.

Trail was tracked today, and is in great shape. No twigs or pine needles on the trail; just fluffy white snow. We received 7" in the past week.

After a week of plus 40 degree temperatures, followed by over 1/2" of rain, it was a challenge to set a nice track with our equipment; but it was groomed to the best of our ability. Some trash of pine needles and twigs on the trail.

Trail was regroomed today after 42 degrees yesterday. A lot of the clumps of snow on the trees fell on the ski track, and these were smoothed out to the best of our pull behind groomers ability. Expect some twigs and pine needles down in the wooded areas.

Regroomed portions of the trail that were not groomed on Monday. Trees were removed that keep falling from the December storms.

All segments of the trail are open but there's been no grooming this week. The tracks are drifted through the marsh, so it seems like a real wilderness ski. The are trees down that need some attention, these are not on slopes and skiers have found paths around them. Once groomed this place will be spectacular, until then it's a wilderness adventure.

After a morning low of -33F, it warmed up to -3F and time to get out for a ski. South loop was in great shape, deep tracks and solid pole plants. Not the best glide at these temps, but the sun was out, and the trees were flocked with snow.

Skied all of the easy and difficult trails this morning. The tracks on the north side were initially covered in a couple inches of light and powdery snow. However, once we crossed the road and skied the South Loop, we found freshly groomed tracks! The North trails were also being groomed as we were leaving. Still bits of debris here and there, but overall the trails were in great shape! A huge thank you to Al for his excellent work!
