No shortage of snow around Calumet. The Swedetown Trails were great the past two days for skating in the morning. Skins or scales also provided a slow, but enjoyable classic ski mid-days. This morning crust skiing was an option, which led to several trips around the ungroomed Papa Bear trail. Quite a few people there each morning.

Another day of good grooming on plentiful snow! Skiing slowed as temperatures rose, but it was another morning of fine spring skiing. Only Relentless and Papa Bear are not being groomed, but I saw ski tracks heading off on both loops.

A perfect way to end the month of March! Several waves of snow since Friday, and perfect temps (20s) and grooming today. We're lucky to be able to say "fresh cold powder" this late in the season! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Conditions were great in the afternoon witih new snow falling. Classic tracks were very good and there is still a good base. Skied on Pineridge, part of Relentless, Valley and part of Powderhouse Loop and it was great throughout.

Excellent snow conditions and grooming! Nearly all of the classic tracks had been set, with some skied in on one side or the other. In a few places where there were classic tracks on both sides, one side hasn't been skied in but that could easily be done. The skate deck also appeared to be in excellent condition.

Wonderful grooming after the recent heavy snow resulted in some of the nicest skiing of the season! No debris on the trails, and clean tracks everywhere I skied.

The grooming was great and the skiing was excellent. Did classic skiing on Valley, Cedar and Ed's trails. I am guessing the skiing will stay nice for awhile!

Another good day of skiing at Swedetown after a little fresh snow last night and good grooming this morning. Track was firm and fast. Good kick with Swix Blue Extra.

Another great day at Swedetown. Base holding, fresh grooming on a dusting of snow that fell overnight. There is debris in the snow... Fast conditions in cold temps today.

Fantastic skate conditions. We skied all the trails with the exception of the expert trails that were close to the chalet as they were not groomed. Found the skate lanes fast and firm. The groomers did a nice job loosening the icy snow and it created a fun skate deck. I would highly recommend skating as it doesn't get much faster. The classic tracks were icy.
