Yes, more snow, dense white snow. We rolled yesterday and groomed with both Ginzus today in chilly windy conditions. Everything looks good, no rocks showing for now. Is this the end?

Beautiful day! Cold! We pulled both Ginzus on all trail sections this morning, and although the skate lane on the Green wasn't perfect, everything else looks great.

At least 6" of nice snow fell overnight in International Falls and we used 3 sleds to pack and roll all of Tilson Creek today. Grooming plans: Grooming set for tomorrow.

With about 4" of new snow we used both Ginzus to groom and set tracks on all trail segments except the Renegade Red trail - the snow started to get too warm! Grooming looks fabulous!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We ran both Ginzus on all trails this morning after about 2" of new snow yesterday. It was below zero but sunny- a fine day to be out. Tracks and corduroy look very nice. We groomed one short new section on the Blue trail which is quite rough but skating should be ok if you are careful.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
About 2" of new snow, after rain, made for excellent grooming conditions. We pulled both Ginzus on all trails, including the recently logged Blue trail. The main Blue between the two ends of Chris's Return is rough! All the rest of the Blue is fine, and Little Blue Hill Trail is great. Good corduroy, firm tracks everywhere.

Had a great session on Saturday. I did the Green Loop and the beginning portion of the Orange Loop (up until the northern Blue Trail intersection). Tracks were in great condition and I had a blast skiing. I didn't see much debris on the tracks. Saw quite a few cars in the parking lot so I'm happy to see more people using this trail system!

After a couple of inches snow over last few days we were able to refresh the skate deck and reset track on all open trail's except the main blue. Loggers are hauling wood out on that section. It was nice to get some cover on the tree debris on the West side of the trail.

The trails have held up well through the warm stretch, but the skate deck needed a little refreshing. The ginzu scratched up the surface nicely and the result is better than expected with no new snow to work with. We left the track in place, most of which is in good shape, albeit a little icy with the warm days and cool nights. We're still waiting on the loggers to complete their sale on the Blue Trail, hopefully next week. They helped us with opening a couple of new loops that we are anxious to try out.

Trails were groomed Thursday. Skiing was great from one end to the other. Thank you Steve Johnson for the great job.
