First time skiing Korkki and I loved it! The flow of the trails is great. Even on the hardest trails, the layout is very manageable with no sharp corners at the bottom of hills. The tightness of the forest to the trail helped to keep the wind at bay. The hardest part was the leaves in the tracks coming down from the big hill at the end of the trail but I did fine just keeping my skis on either side of the tracks to avoid the leaves.

Gorgeous 22 degree day to ski this wonderful weaving classic ski trail. We did 6 km. Reminds me of the late 70's skiing trails in upper Michigan. Freshly groomed. Great.

Korkki is dreamy today! Tracks are firm, pole plants firm, no body imprints... ok maybe I saw one... debris free except for three spots where the woodpeckers were really active. Was thankful Ski Hut fixed my skins so fast! Thanks Mick! Well worth the drive from anywhere!

We skied Dorothy's Loop at dusk. Beautiful evening! Tracks freshly groomed and looked pristine. Pack was a little soft, but it looked like we may have been just the second ones on the trail. Thanks so much for the hard work following our big snow!

Trail was near-perfect, having just been groomed this morning. Absolute bluebird day out there with a bright sun. The only debris amounted to a hundred yards of oak leaves shortly after ISo Maki, which was the bomb, by the way. The only negative, minor, was some noisy logging located between the 5k and 4k cutoff outlets, but other than that it was perfectly quiet per usual.

Snowing and so windy! Wind blown tracks that were skied in (thank you to the folks ahead of me!) but probably refilled quickly. Great day to brave the elements and listen to the trees! Thanks Korkki!

We arrived mid morning, after receiving a couple inches of light fluffy snow. Someone had broken trail ahead of us. Thank you to them. We really enjoyed this very fun narrow single track trail system.

Cold air but warm sun. Haven't skied these lovely trails in three years. Warming hut is open. Parking lot was busy. Tracks were in good shape. Getting well-used and there were some oak leaves in parts but there is plenty of snow coverage. We thoroughly enjoyed our ski.

Classic skiing doesn't get much better. 19 F around noon. Lots of soft snow in the woods. Good tracks set on the trails and hopefully they're getting fresh snow tonight.

Skied the whole loop. Got fresh tracks set today after the snow, which were mostly still hard and in good shape around sunset except on the uphills (as usual). Beautiful day and can't argue with fresh snow.
