All trails dragged and tracked, with much better results for the classic tracks today. A little new snow added to the mix didn't hurt either! Good conditions throughout the system, with much less debris on the surface after two days of dragging and working in the new snow from last night. Grooming completed at 11:00 am.

The good news: all the trails were tracked and dragged today and the skate lanes should be firm and fast. The bad news: rock hard conditions precluded a decent track set for the classic tracks, but we will reset on Sunday morning with hopefully better results as the snow is worked more. There are some thin spots throughout the system, but generally good conditions prevail. Grooming completed at 11:00 am.

All trails were dragged and tracks are still solid. Even with the warm temperatures, the trails at Swedetown are holding up well, but expect some debris on wooded trails such as Powderhouse and Pine, and beware of the occasional thin spot in places. Grooming completed at 9:30 am.

No grooming done today, and minimal grooming will be done throughout the week to preserve the base on the trails. All trails will be dragged and tracked on Saturday morning for the weekend. Expect to find some thin spots in areas, especially in wooded areas where there isn't as much snow.

All trails dragged and tracked, including all of Powderhouse as well as Papa Bear. Get yer thrills on Flamingo hill, but be careful, as it is a little rough yet! Take Fido/Fidette out for a walk on the Dog Loops: they are open, but still a bit damp in spots. The snow bike trail has been freshly groomed as well, so there is truly something for everyone at STC today! Grooming completed at 11:00 am.

Sorry for the late report folks, but it was a long day! All of the new snow from Wednesday night was rolled today, and limited classic tracks were set. All trails will be dragged on Friday, and tracks will be set on all trails. The new snow has allowed us to reopen Powderhouse Field and Papa Bear, as well as Flamingo Hill, but Flamingo is still thin and a bit rough, so use caution!
The Multipurpose (Dog) Loops will be opened tomorrow--stay tuned for an update on that.
The snow bike trail was a bit soft today, so a second grooming pass was done later in the day to get the trail to firm up. Low pressure is the way to go right now!
Santa, all we want for Christmas is a little more of that Lake Effect Snow! Well, maybe a lot...

All trails dragged and tracked, with the exception of Powderhouse field and Papa Bear. Generally good conditions, but there are some thin spots. The snow bike trail was freshly groomed this morning and is getting firmer every day. Grooming completed at 10:00 am.

Trails were dragged today; tracks will be set on Saturday. Powderhouse Field and Papa Bear are still closed, and not all trails are tracked. The snow bike trail was dragged and is in fairly good shape as well. Heikki Lunta make it snow!

Very good skiing this week, everyone is coming back saying the same. There are classic tracks on most trails. Enjoyed skiing Cedar and Greenstone on Wednesday and Thursday.

Swedetown trails are open again today (Nov 25). Tracks will not be set, expect early season conditions.
