Skied Forestville trailhead. Most of the trail system has been regroomed over the past few days after the big snowfall, warm-up and refreeze. The trails are fully cover though starting to be a bit sticky.

4.5 ft of snow fell on the Noque trail last weekend and it groomed up really nicely. I expected super soft conditions but was rewarded with solid tracks and good pole plants. I skied just past the first bridge and noticed it was bit softer past the bridge on the way up to 510.

Everything was groomed and in tip top shape this morning. The groomers were working hard and their effort is greatly appreciated. I skied from Forestville to the dead river basin, and it appeared all trails were groomed. Exceptional snow depth between 510 and the basin made the ski truly spectacular!

Forestville Trailhead: The classic track was full depth on everything I skied. Even with the temperature above freezing at around 36 deg, to my surprise the tracks were firm with a great glide. Most of the leaves had been groomed in, so the leaf factor was very minimal in just a few places. I liked this trailhead building. It has a nice wood stove going, indoor toilets, rentals, storage area for gear and a knowledgeable counter person. Job well done groomers!

The main Noque trail was freshly groomed with a nice track and skate deck up to the first bridge. The side trails were also in good shape with a bit softer conditions than the main Noque. It looks like there was some packing taking place past the first bridge. So, hopefully it will be possible to ski up to 510 soon.

The Forestville trails came back to life after a two week hiatus. Another blast of dense snow off the lake buried the trail and flocked the hemlocks. This time with enough ferocity to require the Pisten Bully for grooming. The track was fast enough for good classic skiing and pole plants were pretty good for the first grooming. No rocks in sight.

The Noquemanon trail was groomed past the 16k all the way up to the first bridge. I only saw one rock and that was within the first k of trail heading up to the powerline. Everything else was completely covered with a nice dense base of Lake Superior's best.

The trails have been rolled at Forestville trailhead. Conditions were great. We didn't see or hit any rocks. Thanks groomers!
