The fatbike and snowshoe trails were groomed on Monday and the ski trail was groomed and track set today. All trails are in excellent shape. Dress appropriately if you come out to play the next few days - I hear it might get cold.

Snowed most of the day on Wednesday and picked up even more today so we groomed up all of the trails this morning and reset the track on the ski trails. Trails are in excellent shape, chalet is warm - don't let the cold temperatures keep you away.

We picked up 3-5" of nice snow today and spent the afternoon/evening grooming all the trail systems and setting fresh track. Trails should set up nicely overnight and be in great shape for biking, shoeing and/or skiing on Wednesday.

Tidied up all of the trails today - ski, shoe, bike - for the weekend. The bike, snowshoe and skate lane of the ski trail are in great shape with a nice, firm base. With the cold temperatures and lack of fresh snow we are not able to reset the ski tracks and it's showing signs of heavy use in areas.

The snowshoe and ski trails were groomed today and tracks were reset. The trails cleaned up nicely and tracks look great. Friday, we finally were able to start packing down the Out-N-Back trail and today we groomed it and set tracks. It'll take a few more passes before it really sets up but it is skiable.

Very good to excellent conditions at this dog friendly venue. Tracks mostly well set with a very few late weekend washouts. Skate deck firm. Fast and fun on Swix Blue Extra.

Tale of two different days. We arrived Friday afternoon around 3pm to find the groomer busy doing his thing, trails were in top form for skate. A plus. We ran into one of our friends that tried classic skiing and he said skating was better. We skied until we couldn't see any more. Sunday morning we arrived 9am to find the trails had heavy use Saturday and had not been regroomed. The trails were crowned in some places, washboardy in others. They weren't boilerplate but very hard packed, could have been so much better had they been touched up. There are some spots were the fat bikers have to use the ski trail to connect to their trails and I get that. It appears there were some fat bikers that just road on the ski trails on the back side of the red outside loop, they were riding squirrelly and left a deep s curve pattern down the ski trail. The chalet never disappoints and it's always fun to see what dogs will greet us. The fact Winman is dog friendly is another reason we continue to come back we love skiing with our dog. We will continue to stop back.

The WinMan trails were in great condition today for skate and stride. The wide skate deck was firm and fast throughout. And...OMG...what a cool place! With its fantastic chalet, quality grooming, trails for XC skiers and skijorers, snow bikes, and snowshoers, WinMan is the embodiment of a winter (silent) sports venue. Check it out soon - you will be impressed.

First time at WinMan, and it won't be the last. Really fun trails to cruise. Not brutal up or downhills. The grooming was very good, and the chalet is a really nice place to chill after the workout. Lots of skiers, fat bikers and snowshoers out enjoying the day. Go see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

All three trail systems - ski, bike, shoe - were groomed up before lunch today and are in great shape (the tracks on the ski trail still looked good this morning and we would have only screwed them up if we tried resetting them so we left them alone).
