Approximately 3.5 km of well groomed trail, which includes some newly opened northern section. The skate deck is clean, well compacted, wide, and level. Adjacent diagonal tracks were also substantial. Very good conditions today.

Excellent conditions, perfect corduroy, fast and fun. Well worth the drive. Classic tracks excellent, skate line wide and perfect.

Fabulous conditions. World class grooming. Lots of skiers but far from crowded. Classic tracks were deep and firm.

Mother nature dropped about 1/3" of snow on top of a freshly groomed 3.4K trail early this morning making for excellent ski conditions. The latest loop, aka Mount Becker, is a sight to behold offering significant additional elevation and banked curves on the down hill for skaters. Super fun. Carpe Skiem!

Approximately 3.5 km of well groomed and clean snow. Very good conditions. Diagonal tracks were slightly slow but substantial. A very good day to be here.

If you haven't skied Ariens then you are missing out. As close to perfect as you can get. Around 4k of trails. Snow anywhere from 1 to 10 meters deep! Sean Becker had done a fabulous job in this (once again) snowless winter. He added height to some hills with man made snow. Biathlon range is perfect and ready for an event this Sunday. Fun, fun course! Worth the trip!

They are up to 3.5k now with some of the North loops partially open. Basically, one more longer climb with a bit of headwall at the top from a part of the trail we haven't seen open since the opening year with natural snow. The snow in the morning was cold, slow and squeaky. The whole system just skis with a nice flow of climbs, descents, turns, an occasional flat area. Really enjoyable.

Another beautiful day for a ski. A new section of trail was added since I skied on Tuesday. What a treat to have the opportunity to ski here this dry winter.

The skiable groomed trail now totals 3.3K. Superior conditions for both techniques. Deep tracks. Firm & Flat deck. Lots of man-made snow stocked with some initial placement taking place on the northern side of The ANC. Carpe Skiem!

The trail is 2.5 km of well groomed and fast snow. Diagonal tracks were also very good. Another good day out here.
