A perfect way to end the month of March! Several waves of snow since Friday, and perfect temps (20s) and grooming today. We're lucky to be able to say "fresh cold powder" this late in the season! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Conditions were great in the afternoon witih new snow falling. Classic tracks were very good and there is still a good base. Skied on Pineridge, part of Relentless, Valley and part of Powderhouse Loop and it was great throughout.

Excellent snow conditions and grooming! Nearly all of the classic tracks had been set, with some skied in on one side or the other. In a few places where there were classic tracks on both sides, one side hasn't been skied in but that could easily be done. The skate deck also appeared to be in excellent condition.

Wonderful grooming after the recent heavy snow resulted in some of the nicest skiing of the season! No debris on the trails, and clean tracks everywhere I skied.

The grooming was great and the skiing was excellent. Did classic skiing on Valley, Cedar and Ed's trails. I am guessing the skiing will stay nice for awhile!

Another good day of skiing at Swedetown after a little fresh snow last night and good grooming this morning. Track was firm and fast. Good kick with Swix Blue Extra.

Another great day at Swedetown. Base holding, fresh grooming on a dusting of snow that fell overnight. There is debris in the snow... Fast conditions in cold temps today.

Fantastic skate conditions. We skied all the trails with the exception of the expert trails that were close to the chalet as they were not groomed. Found the skate lanes fast and firm. The groomers did a nice job loosening the icy snow and it created a fun skate deck. I would highly recommend skating as it doesn't get much faster. The classic tracks were icy.

Swedetown is still standing strong after the three day warmup. Highs only reached about 50 degrees as the Big Lake helped keep temperatures in check. Temp plummeted to 20 degrees this morning and the Husky went out and busted up all the ice, resulting is some pretty nice skating! There was plenty of loose snow to get an edge, glide was great, and speed was medium-fast. You can see from the picture that we still have ample base - in the 18 to 24 inch range.

Freshly groomed after previous day heavy snowfall. Very enjoyable skiing with an abundance of snowfall in Calumet and Swedetown Trails. Many kilometers of fun to experience on soft natural snow.
