No significant snow since the thaw. Still a very solid base. No bare spots, but expect some pine litter. Grooming today, but trails will likely only be good. Bring soft wax or waxless skis. 3-5" new snow in the forecast for this Monday. Ski on!

Snow very soft and tracks were old, but the base is good. Once past this warm spell, the groomer should be able to set a tolerable track. These trails need brushing out, but the scenery is terrific and we saw fresh wolf tracks in the spruce bog. Hard to beat that.

Just about perfect. Nice single track winding through tall pines covered in snow. Lots of snow here.

5 more inches of snow in the last couple days. Trails haven't been in this great condition mid-January in as long as we can remember. 20+ inches in the woods - 7-12" base. All the trails will be groomed and tracked today. Wolves caught on video a week ago on Lake Gegoka, come ski and howl with us!

Skied Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Never saw another soul. Only saw the tracks of another skier on Monday. They must have been out ahead of us. Lots of snow. It was very cold so we used our hardest kick in the morning and then switched to blue when the temps rose. Perfect conditions if you don't mind breaking trail. It snowed about an inch every night. So we broke trail as far as we were going on that trip and then took advantage of our glide on the way back. Totally awesome was in addition to the wolf tracks there was an otter track on the trail on Monday. Rare to see that. Otters apparently like to ski too!

Recently tracked but wind blown in spots. Lots of wolf tracks on trails with a few deer parts laying about. Trails are in good condition with some having sticks and twigs poking through. A great backwoods ski with little or no company.

Additional 5-6 inches of snow in the past couple days. System was completely groomed on Tuesday afternoon. Excellent base, track set and beauty.

All trails are perfectly groomed. Firm base, tracks very well set. Best conditions we've seen in any of the 10 consecutive years we've been coming up. There was slush on Gegoka when we arrived on Dec 27th, but it seems mostly to have frozen when we traveled across on Sunday morning.

Oh man was this a great ski! 12" of base and then we were floating on another 1" of new snow. As we were skiing I thought we found a rabbit that had exploded but it was just an exceptionally large pile of "wolf wax". Quite a few wolf tracks on trail--and there were some big ones!

All the trails have been groomed and tracked as of today. Good conditions. Beware of slush if you venture out on the lake. 5-7" base and 12-14" snow depth in the open areas.
