Very nice groomed trails. Temps. were in the 30's. We used waxed skis with 30 + wax, nice for ascending and descending hills. First time skiing here but we will be back. I recommend the Intermediate East Ridge Loop clockwise to take in all the different terrains and a wonderful overlook at 1400 ft. at the top of the ridge. Pine meadow and Biskey loops were closed due to logging. I highly recommend using the trail maps available as they are a little more detailed for following trails.

Fun classic trail to ski with long gradual ups and downs. Tracks for the most part are in good shape with a hand full of spots where you need to step out. The trail you take to get back to the parking lot has variable track quality. They didn't groom the Biskey Pond loop at the end of the other small side loop right before the Biskey loop. It's a really peaceful beautiful place to ski about 30 min for UMD.
