Excellent condition. We had a dusting of snow Wednesday evening. All trails groomed Friday night. Classic track is solid with skate lane firm and fast.

Excellent conditions continue, with no new snow but still a 2’ + snow depth. Classic track is solid and quick, and skate lane is almost a little crusty, firm and fast. Grooming planned for later this week, and looks like a pleasant weekend ahead.

Beautiful conditions with 15” new snow in the last week! Ski trails (11km) were groomed today and both classic and freestyle skiers were happy. Sunday open house continues from 1-3:30, weather permitting. Snowshoe trails (2km) also are packed and flagged, and new maps in progress.

Trails are beautiful today with 3.5” fresh powder on firmly packed trails. Today we broke trail in the classic tracks so those are nice.

Very good for skate and looked to be very good for classic as well. The only reason I didn't rate it as excellent was because of debris in the snow. But because most of the debris was fine spruce or fir needles it wasn't really a problem. I love this little ski area, especially the Troll Trail! The volunteers who run the place are very friendly too.

Trails are generally in good condition, but with some debris on the trail from the 50-mph wind gusts on Sunday morning. Thus the B ski recommendation although it’s mostly needles and leaves with but a few twigs to dodge. All trails groomed for skate and classic with a nice firm base and good track. Snowshoe trails are all flagged and mapped and shoes available to borrow. Open house with skis available every Sunday 1-3:30, through February, weather permitting.

All trails are open with excellent conditions for skating and classic. Beginner to advanced trails total 11km, MN ski pass needed. We have a foot of new snow, which was groomed yesterday. Snowshoe trails are also all open and full of snow, about 0.8 km total. Snowshoe route is also open to dogs.

Snow depth over 12" with a 3" or more packed base, 1" new. All trails are in generally good condition, although there are spots on Lake and Lilly's with some twigs poking through. Eagle is excellent for skating, and grooming with a redone classic track was underway as we were skiing today. Snowshoe trails are also flagged and have good snow coverage. Interesting to see all of the other tracks on the trail: deer, coyotes (including a small kill), and on part of Eagle, there have been some big-boy wolf tracks!

Trails are groomed and tracked. Lots of activity. Trails are beautiful. Trails include Eagle, Lilly's, Troll, Lake. Hoping for more snow to provide a deeper base. Several snow shoe trails are also open for use.

The groomers set classic tracks after recent snow, so conditions should be good for the weekend. We had over 6" new snow last Sunday, 1 - 2" last night with snow still falling. Snowshoe trail looking better, with snow now covering some debris from thinning out a dense stand of planted red pine.
