It may be a bit on the cold side today, but all the more reason to bundle up and ski hard at Swedetown. All trails are tilled and tracked; the Dog Loops and snow bike trails have been freshly dragged. Grooming completed at 9:00 am.

About 14-16" of packed snow on the trails, which have been uncharacteristically icy for January. Skins were working in the tracks.

All trails were dragged this morning, including the Multipurpose (Dog) Loops and snow bike trail. Some brushing was done on the snow bike trail to reduce the number of hanging limbs from the recent heavy snowfalls, the same snowfalls that have led to excellent conditions throughout the Swedetown system. Grooming completed at 11:00 am.

The trails are excellent today. Snow is still in the trees and it is quite beautiful. Classic tracks on Greenstone and Mama Bear were very nice today.

All trails tilled and tracked, and the Multiuse trails were dragged. Trail conditions are excellent, and skiers will have a hard time deciding which is more fun, the classic tracks or the skate lanes. Whatever your preference, spending some time at Swedetown Trails is a great way to start the New Year! Grooming completed at 10:00 am.
