Great time at Sylvania Outfitters. 3" of fluff over the most recent groom made for easy control on these flowing classic-only trails. " Danger hill" trail to lollipop not groomed, we found deep snow and some trees down poking around on that trail. Always a fun day at Sylvania, but missed seeing Bob in the shop.

Classic heaven. Bob grooms the most gorgeous rolling route through the trees. Conditions are smooth with tons of snow. Warming house, rentals, hot cocoa, water and kick wax available. No skate, trails are too narrow.

Skied about 6.5 miles of trails located behind Sylvania Outfitters. Trails are rolling and curving. The snow is deep and the trees snow covered. Great tracks.

Glorious, warm afternoon to have the entire place to ourselves with our dog (Bob encourages skijoring)! Snow depth incredible with loud, crunchy, fast rolling trails. We cleared several broken pine tree branches from the heavy snow. One of our favorite hidden gems to classic xcountry ski.
