Fantastic Easter ski! Husky-groomed last night, perfect skate deck and tracks this morning! Several inches of fresh snow during the week, so we have perfect mid-winter conditions now.

Another 2-3" of fresh snow again brought the Husky out of the barn to till the whole trail system. Skate deck can best be described as velvet! Smooth, fast, yet easy to get a good edge. Tracks were good too, although the high winds were blowing in sort sections on occasion. Still have a 24"+ base. Amazingly good skiing for mid-April!

Fresh 4" of snow in Calumet brought out the big groomer and some excellent Mid-April skiing. Tracks were good - mixture of fresh snow and ice underneath resulted in both good kick and good glide. We still have 2 feet of solid base. Will be a late start to the mountain bike and hiking season!

Excellent skiing at Swedetown! After a warm, foggy, rainy week, we now have fresh snow and colder temperatures. Conditions should be excellent for tomorrow's Easter Bunny Hoppet, with a firm 12-18" base (or more!). The trails are excellent!

Fabulous conditions at Swedetown. Freshly groomed. Deep tracks and wonderful skate deck. A few leaves in tracks from howling wind, but not bothersome.

A dusting of new snow over existing groomed three feet of packed base. Wonderful skiing even though a bit slow with new snow falling during ski and winds whipping and blowing the snow around.

Trail conditions are perfect for the upcoming Bear Chase this weekend. Skate trails have a great base, classic tracks are firm and clean. Snowing a little today that will be tilled in for the race grooming.

Skiing at Swedetown is as good as it gets right now. Temps stayed below freezing over the weekend, with about 10 inches of new snow sandwiched around some freezing rain. Today the sun was out, the only visible ice was clinging to trees, and it was beautiful. It's shaping up to be a great Great Bear Chase! Trails have close to a 3 foot base, with 40-some inches of snow in the woods.
