All of Swedetown's trails (ski, back-country ski, snow-bike and snowshoe) are closed due to the warm weather. They will re-open as soon as weather permits.

All trails were dragged. Fresh snow may cover some of the thin spots, so use caution (and perhaps not your best skis) for early season conditions.
The snow bike trail is now open! The elves have been busy prepping approximately 10k of trail throughout the system, dedicated to fat tire enthusiasts. The trail is still soft, so expect to run at a lower tire pressure for best performance. Snow bikes are still welcome on the trails on Tuesday nights (Fat Tuesday), but please, no mountain bikes.
Grooming completed at 10:00 am.

All trails dragged this morning, tracks are in good shape and will be reset on Saturday morning. Good conditions throughout most of the system.
Note: you may see some hunters in the area. It is advisable to wear bright conspicuous apparel for the next two weeks. Enjoy!

OK by January standards, incredible for mid-November. Since the big snow 8 days ago, temps have stayed cold with several smaller snowfalls. Skate deck is firm and relatively flat and fast-ish yet powdery. No ice or puddles or bare spots on the trails I skied.

Skied Valley, Greenstone, and Pine. January conditions in mid November. Great start to the season! Fast; some pine needles, but not too bad.

All trails are open at Swedetown! Papa Bear and Powderhouse were rolled and packed today, and will be dragged and have tracks set tomorrow. Tracks were set on all other sections, and all sections except Mama Bear and Baby Bear were dragged today, and will be dragged tomorrow. For those that log their season days: if we can hold snow until May 10th, it's possible to get in 180 days of skiing this year! Six whole months!

The following trails were rolled and packed today: Len's Loop, Pine, Valley, Cedar, Birch, Tamarack, and Greenstone. Early season conditions prevail, but it's not a bad start to the season! We plan to set tracks on the above loops on Sunday morning, and those trails will also be dragged, leading to a more uniform and firm surface.
NOTE: Deer season is now open, with archery hunting through Nov 14th, followed with gun season starting on Nov 15th. Please be advised that you may see hunters in the vicinity of the trails, and please wear bright fluorescent orange or yellow colors for safety. Here's to a long and fun season folks!

Lots of snow (10+ inches of base), groomers are out there rolling. They said they may set tracks tomorrow.
