Due to epic blizzard we are closing down the ski trails for the season. Too many large drifts and down trees to work on. I tried, and I got the snowmobile stuck twice the first 100 yards... You are more than welcome to still ski on the trails, pond, or lake if you still want to have an adventure! See you next year!

Best conditions of the year! Was able to roll and lay classic tracks Beginners loop (used daily for school groups), Connectors loop (started south of building today), South Loop, Middle Loop. Grouse loop is rolled for any type of skiing or winter adventure (snowshoes, dogs, etc).

Beginners ski loop is the only trail for classic groomed this weekend! The grouse loop is rolled for skiing, snowshoeing, and dog sledding. We did get a fresh 4 inches yesterday but we just can't keep up with the constant drifting this week and the rest of today. Unfortunately, we will not have grooming staff this weekend to groom the rest of the trails. We plan to really hit the drifts and trails hard on Monday and Tuesday next week to level it all out and completely redo them.

Groomed this afternoon after the fresh 2" of snow. Tracks and trails are in great shape and beautiful conditions!

Trails in mostly good condition, just enough snow last enough to set pretty good tracks on most of trails. Lots of oak leaves and a few small sticks on the trails.

My first time at Deep Portage in the winter. Skied the easy loop a couple of times. Tracks were soft but deep and very intact. Fun, pretty skiing!

Groomed this evening. Tracks still in decent shape, wish we had a little more new snow. Few patches of debris is oak and mature pine forests but otherwise great. Lots of wolf sign on trails! Tracks groomed: -Beginners Loop. -South Loop. -Middle Loop. -Connectors Loop (90% tracked, east portion from building to bog is packed snow from school programming). -Bass Pond, NEW. I set a pristine classic and skate track on Bass Pond for this weekend. We'll see how long we can upkeep it with programming next week. Enjoy!

We tracked a few trails for classic skiing this morning! They are: Beginners Ski Loop, Connectors loop (check in with front desk to ask where tracks are), Middle Loop, South Loop. Conditions are terrific. Grooming plans: We hope to lay tracks on Bass Pond for classic and skate skis by the weekend, enjoy!
