Grooming operations have currently stopped due to conditions. Trails will be icy and bottoms of hills will be soft with the warmer temperatures. Have a good weekend.

After all of the rain we received trails are in late season conditions low spots will be retaining water. The base will be too soft to groom before the weekend and trails were last groomed on Monday.

There was a good six inches of new snow on the track. I broke trail on the entire red loop as well as the green loop on a second time around. I was surprised to see how little glide I had on the trail I had broken. Several other skiers just heading out on the trail also complained about no gilde. I'm not sure what that was attributable to as I was waxed with Swix 8 which should have been right for the temperature.

All loops were leveled and tracked yesterday. Except for the Red segment that has the first steep hill to the shelter- this was only leveled. Good conditions, a few leaves scattered on the trail. I am having equipment issues still and will be sharing a gator from the McNaughton trail. This will delay grooming operations for Madeline Trail after a fresh snow. Thanks for your understanding. Have a great time!

Sorry folks I had some equipment problems today. Hopefully I will be back up and with a good groomed trail by Wednesday. One set of old tracks is still left from the weekend and the other side is leveled. Thanks for your patience.

All segments were packed and tracked. First Red segment with steep hill to the shelter was not tracked. Tracks will set nicely with the temperatures staying down. Have fun and enjoy!

All loops were packed and leveled after our 12" of snow yesterday. The blue segment to the shelter was tracked. All of the yellow loop was tracked. The middle green segment was tracked. The back loop of the red back to the parking lot was tracked. The trail is still soft and needs to harden up before more track is laid. Lots of debris from the strong winds last night.

Trails were rolled and tracked all loops open except for the first segment of red trail with the first steep Hill to the shelter. Bring your good skis!

All loops were rolled, cut and tracked. The first Red Segment with the first steep hill, to the shelter, was only rolled and leveled-All others loops tracked. There is a little debris still from the last snow but tracks look great! Have a good week.

All of the Red Loop was tracked. The Green segment to the shelter was tracked. All trail segments are open but all inner segments: Yellow, Blue Green, were rolled and leveled only. Have a great weekend!
