Trail Detail
Notes
A great mix of beginner and expert ski trails. With the inclusion of the Jerry Jolly Trails there is about 25 km groomed for skating and classic. There is also an additional 15 km of classic only trails. With views of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands, this is a very scenic area to ski. There is a nice lodge which sells snacks and food as well as a ski patrol and small downhill area.Trail Reports

Skated much of Ashwabay, including the Jolly Long Loop on Tuesday. It was all groomed well, but as it was new cold snow, it was not a perfectly firm deck, and required more effort than ideal. But that is the only thing I can say that is less than excellent.

Most of the trails are in excellent condition; nice deep tracks for classic (skating lane looked excellent throughout). Skied Sugar Bush out to Deer Path. Deer Path was newly tracked, but only to Bear Track, which was tracked. I discovered a new "short cut" trail off of Bear Track that was awesome. Did about 8 miles in a winter wonderland. If you are looking for skiable snow, Ashwabay is the place to be.

Trails were freshly groomed and in great shape! Groomers were hard at work rolling and tracking some of the Jolly Trails so most if not all trail segments should now be groomed. Conditions are a bit soft because of the new snow.

Got about 4" of new powder, classic trails were skied in and very beautiful with the fresh snow. No grooming today, so a better day for classic than skate.

Tracks on Sugarbush and Anchor Trails were recently set. Excellent conditions. Ventured off on to ungroomed Jolly Long and Operdahl trails. Hard going. Lots of sticks on the path and snow-ladened branches bending over the trail.

Very nice classic skiing on Sugarbush and Anchor trails. Tracks were set, snow is good, in spite of the recent rain and wet snow.

Between Steve, Greg and myself, we got Anchor, Seagull, Rollercoaster, Telford, Sugarbush Dog Trail, and the new trail from the cabin to the bench on Seagull packed, groomed and tracked with the ginzus. We also packed with the flat drags Sugarbush Classic and Jolly Long. There were a lot of trees bending over, but the snow packed up nicely. I would rate what was fully groomed as very good to excellent.

Trails were looking better after getting about one inch of new snow with a dusting on top of the fresh grooming. Skate lanes were much improved on Seagull and Anchor. The top of Seagull was the best. Classic tracks were mostly skied in and looked nicer with the new snow, but still icy. I used good skis and didn't see much to hit on the trails I skied, but B skis might be advisable if skiing the lower trails.
