Ideal ski conditions at Swedetown today. A bit of fresh snow and new grooming made for a great ski day. We skated in the morning. After lunch we used our classic skis. Both skate and classic conditions are excellent. Moderate temps and light snow added to the great day. Despite the thaw a couple of weeks ago, consistent snow showers have kept the snow in good shape. The chalet is open as usual and busy.

Fresh grooming and good snow at Swedetown! We skied up from Papa Bear to the chalet and back and had good conditions throughout.

Great conditions at Swedetown with fresh grooming and lots of snow. A touch soft in a few areas but all in all very nice.

All skate decks had a few passes with the ginzu and conditions were quite good. More snow is falling as I report this morning (Monday).

The trail has firmed up after the above freezing temps for a day and a pass of the ginzu made for nice skating on most loops. Best snow is up top and middle with a few uneven areas on the 1km or so papa bear.

Trails groomed and tracked this morning. Given the significant snowfall it was a bit soft for freestyle but no complaints!

The Snowglobe continues. Another 6" or so of fluff being rolled into the trails - probably 2-3 feet or so in the woods and a good thick base on the trails once everything is rolled/groomed in.

Good! Received another 3" with more snow continuing to fall. Trails are shaping into mid-winter conditions nicely! Hit most of the upper trails and enjoyed the nice track and fresh snow falling! Swix old VF40 was solid for kick.

Took on the bear loops down lower for a short ski today. The higher you climbed the more snow. Not as much snow as up top with a few uneven areas but all skiable. 2" or so overnight added to the tally. Up top is very nice and down lower on papa bear a bit uneven in spots but still totally skiable.

Nice! The previous two feet or so became a nice 8" consolidated base in the woods after the warm temps mid week. A fresh 4-6"+ has fallen and is being groomed into the base with more snow predicted. Should be great conditions over the Christmas break!
