Trail Detail
Notes
Afterglow Ski Trails are groomed for skate and classic 5-7 times a week with a Tidd Tech G2. The full width groomed trails are protected by a thick mixed hardwood forest with trees right to the trails edge. A large heated warm up room is perfect to wait for the diehards in your group. UP snowbelt for reliable snow.Trail Reports

Pete did his magic this morning. Wow! What looked truly impossible yesterday after the ice storm came through and fully iced the trails became skiable once again. Six hours of hard work grooming and branch removal got the trails in skiable condition. I only skated on Trail #1 but it was far better than expected. Grooming ground up the ice and with about and inch of new snow created a good mix that made today's ski possible. Thank you Pete Moline, greatly appreciated!

An inch of new snow. Very good to excellent. Groomed all skate lanes. The rain soaked through the skate lane so the trail is not a block of ice. Rather it is a very skiable surface. The bottom of the full depth classic track has snow and hard wax will work fine. Grooming skate should take 2 hours flat in perfect conditions -- today it took 6 hours 45 minutes because of all the branches and small trees hanging over the trail that needed to be cut and removed.

All classic tracks reset 3 times in the last 4 nights. All skate lanes groomed 4 times in the last 4 nights. Excellent conditions exist. Full depth classic track. Nice warmup room overlooking Afterglow Lake. Trails are now level, flat and even end to end and side to side. Trail 5 is perfectly flat and level. 100% open.

Skied and snowshoed at Afterglow the last four days. The conditions were excellent in all phases--skate lanes, classic track, and groomed snowshoe/fat-bike trails all excellent. If you are able, staying in the cabins mid-week at Afterglow is a real treat. The cabins are lovely, very comfortable. Ours had a full kitchen. It is very relaxing there. We never left the grounds from Sunday through Wednesday morning and used the trails multiple times every day. Thanks, Pete and Gail!
