Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
The MECCA Trails are very icy. Groomers were unable to break up the ice which developed during the overnight single digit temperatures. Grooming was attempted on the Wolf Loop skate lanes with limited success after multiple passes. This extended period of freeze/thaw conditions makes it very challenging to groom. We will keep you posted if there is a window to do some grooming.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
MECCA Trails held up well during the recent freeze/thaw cycles over the past week. Groomers were out over the past couple of days renovating the icy trail surface. Recent light snowfalls coupled with the colder temperatures has created a very nice skiing surface. Classical tracks were reset Friday along with the skate lane being groomed. Conditions are very good to excellent.
