All skate lanes have been freshly groomed for the coming weekend. All trails are tracked for classic skiing. Considering we are behind a bit on snowfall this year, trails remain in very good to excellent condition, with about a 4-5" average base.

All trails have been freshly groomed and tracked except Sally's Classic, which will be reset tomorrow. Excellent skiing conditions!

Grooming report is accurate, skate deck was groomed and fast, but debris from pines and oaks are frequent on the trails. Some areas in the Aspen stands were clean and very nice. We skied Maple, Oak, white Pine, River, Spruce and Aspen. Consistent throughout.

The skate lanes were touched up today going into the weekend. There are areas of small debris (twigs, needles) scattered throughout the trails from strong winds earlier in the week. The depth of the classic tracks varies, as no new tracks were set this week, except on Classic Trail itself where full depth was able to be set. Grooming will resume on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!

The main trails were groomed and tracked yesterday. The race route from this past weekends River View Loppet is still groomed and signed with the remaining trails being groomed and tracked normally. Sally's Classic Trail has been re-tracked today and is in good condition with minor debris seen in some thin areas. Skate lanes on the entry trails were groomed with a leveler today and are significantly more uniform than before. The trails have about a 4 inch base on average and have firmed up well with the recent cold temperatures. The trails will be touched up as needed.

Beautiful day for a ski in a beautiful forest! Well worn and icy ski deck on most loops, others not recently groomed but easier to ski than the worn down trails.

Beautiful day out on the After Hours trail! Skied the Riverview loppet and the deck was incredibly (almost scary) fast. There was a little bit of debris on the trail but was easily avoided. A few thinner spots inclined me to put the B ski designation, but you would probably be fine with good skis too. Think snow!

Good grooming with full depth tracks. Some dirty and thinner areas that were avoidable. They’ve added a couple of new trails since I last skied here (last year?) that bring you down my the river (in addition to the old River trail). Fun and pretty. Parking lot was full, but it was quiet on the trails. Fun day on these scenic trails.

All trails are groomed and tracked for the anticipated busy weekend ahead. There's about a 5" base with a few thin spots scattered throughout the system, but nothing to avoid. Both skate and classic are excellent. On Saturday, both daily and annual ski trail passes will be available to purchase in-person at the trailhead. Also available will be the 2021 Annual State Parks and Forests Vehicle Admission sticker.

24F, partly sunny, calm. The trails were in great shape. The groomers were out while we were there. They did a great job! But it was a bummer, too, because the tracks and skate deck were firm before the grooming, and really soft afterwards. Too bad they can't groom at night.
