Trail Detail
Notes
Beginner to expert trails. Up, down, turns, mixed stands of forest and clearings provide an exciting terrain for the skier. The flow of the trail is Swedetown's specialty. The trails are groomed daily for skating and striding. 4 km of trails lighted until 8 p.m. Host to the annual Great Bear Chase in March.Trail Reports

Valley trail completely covered from trailhead to Cedar, about 0.4 mile, with one portage. You could actually use B skis except for this. There are a couple of narrow areas that will probably open tomorrow. I went at 50 F after some rain, and the skate deck was firm, with the classic track gone. I tried skating, but, being wet and dirty, it was painfully slow. Classic went much better, especially after I polished a track with a few throughs. Snow is deep enough to last, with an increasing number of portages.

Fantastic spring ski conditions this morning - before 11am it rivaled mid-winter, with temps in the upper teens, fresh 1-2” of snow groomed and with a nice flat deck. Only a couple of areas in the pines were thin/iced hence the B rating. Will be out again early tomorrow for what may be the last hurrah!

15km of trails groomed this morning, skate lane only. Tracks are shallow but skiable. Part of Greenstone and the end of Powderhouse make up a new end of season only loop. Mama and B.

Trails are ice with a half-inch powder on top, and quite skiable. Fair conditions. Grooming has ended, but there's a reasonably deep classic track most places and skate lane is level. Good kick and good edging. A few places are thin and/or narrow, but you can easily pick your way. Should last a few more days.

The trails seemed to hold up well despite the warmer temps yesterday and overnight, some had been recently groomed (overnight?). The snow is very dirty in many areas, especially under pine trees. Very few burnouts and didn't see any exposed rocks. B skis could likely be used if careful, but some areas of dirty snow are hard to avoid.
