We are having mechanical issues with the new groomer this morning, therefore only trails north of 42nd Street will be groomed with the snowmobile today. There will be no grooming on New Year's Day.

Great to be skiing in Superior. Last week's storm brought some rain with the snow, resulting in a heavy, wet, 4 or 5 inches of the white stuff over the saturated ground. Everything is dried out and frozen down, and most surfaces are snow covered, although there are several patches of frozen slush (nothing hazardous). All trails except the blue have received a combination of packing and grooming, no classic tracks have been set. Ski conditions are mixed, some uneven and bumpy, some smooth and flat. Several improvements have been made to this system during the off-season, including widening, tree trimming and culvert repairs, but nothing as exciting as the new trail segment connecting the purple and yellow trails. Good stuff!

Absolutely beautiful out on these trails! The snow fall is just beautiful in the forest. And great grooming for the first big snow of the year!

The trails received between 2 - 4 inches of fresh snow overnight and the groomers indicate they are mostly packing today. There is corduroy, but not enough snow to set track until we receive more. Trail conditions are described as fair, icy in spots but ski-able. Our groomers are not yet working 7 days per week, therefore today will be the last day of grooming for the week.

Our groomer has made 2 passes on all trails north of 42nd Street thus far today and all trails will receive 2 passes by days end. Trails are packing nicely and leaving some corduroy, however since this is our first snow, things are a rather light and no track will be set today.
