Conditions are great with the new snow and solid base underneath. Grooming has been excellent. With the new snow and the forecast, expect several days of outstanding skiing.

About as much fun as a person should be allowed to have. Trails were refrozen after the warm up, and they were super fast with good edging on the skate deck. Classic tracks were icy, but we were skating.

Grooming Scheduling 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We’ve caught up with the latest lake effect bounty and are on our way back to excellent conditions at Swedetown! NOTE: the trails are currently groomed for the Great Bear Chase, so there are different tracks in places, as well as directional arrows that are for the race. Please consult a map if you are unfamiliar with Swedetown Trails, or catch one of the groomers taking care of last-minute details for the Bear Chase. The Snow Bike Trails have been dragged and should set up fairly quickly. Grooming completed at 2:00 am (Friday).

All trails dragged and ready to go! Expect to find soft conditions as this insufferable heat wave continues, as well as a fair amount of debris building up in the wooded sections. Grooming completed at 11:00 am.

The skate lanes are freshly dragged, the classic tracks firm and fast, and the Snow Bike Trails are ready for adventure! No matter your choice–skis, snowshoes, or two wheels–you’ll find excellent conditions throughout the system.
