Thanks to everyone involved in grooming and maintaining the ski trail! It was a fantastic ski season on the Irondale Trails! With the warm weather and rain, we are calling it a season! Wood chips are being dropped today - stockpiled for summer trail work. See everyone next November!

Fabulous grooming made for a beautiful weekend of skate skiing. Icy and pretty fast Saturday morning, a few more slower spots developed today. All trails were in decent shape as I finished this afternoon. Some debris because of the wind though.

Wonderful conditions out in New Brighton. Groomer has done an outstanding job since our last snowfall, skate deck is rolled and in great condition. There are a few slightly icy portions on the east side. Luckily, due to trees and layout, these are limited to the uphill slopes. I gave the classic tracks a whirl in one section, they are fast and hard. Great skiing up here!

2-3 inches of fresh, decently fast snow on top of a hard base. If you're looking for an adventure, follow the skate tracks off-piste for some picturesque crust skiing along the creek. I believe this was planned to be the last week of grooming. With numerous skiers still hitting the trail, hopefully the groomer can be encouraged (goaded?) into doing one more run!

Snow quality was good. Trail was in fine condition for skating, but was not groomed for classic. I left just as it began to snow.
