Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
The heavy wet snow made grooming very difficult today. We were hit with rapid accumulation of snow during the early part of our grooming session. This made conditions very difficult. The decision was made to postpone grooming until the snow slows down.

Excellent skiing. No frowns here, all smiles. Great conditions, nice wide skating well-groomed trails. Hats off to the grooming and trail maintenance crew for doing a fine job its always a pleasure to ski here. The tracks were great, firm and well set. You can tell you have a very solid nordic community here by the skiers you meet and the way it is maintained. Great place.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All trails have been dragged after lots of new snow this week. Because of equipment issues there will be sled tracks on the trails. They should not affect the condition of the trails and going to be as close to the right margin as possible. We apologize for this, but it is a necessity to prepare for the Great Bear Chase.
