Excellent conditions, trails were all groomed Wednesday. We’ve had a total of 8” new snow, so most of the skate lanes and classic tracks are good. Lake loop had some blowing after the rain/snow event, so is only fair, with some grassy and thin spots. With the recent snow coating the trees, it is a beautiful place to ski right now. Chalet is open and snowshoes are available for use. You can also gather around the outside fire ring.

Trails are fair, with shady spots still looking good, but some sunny spots, like the south side of Eagle, getting slushy/icy or bare on the hills. Still very amiable with B or rock skis. Here’s hoping whatever falls from the sky on Wednesday night is white!

Conditions are good to fair for skate, fair for classic. All trails were packed on Tuesday and track set on Lilly’s beginner loop. Some grass and brush poking through here and there, and trails are always a little soft after the first grooming. Warming house is open and also plans for a fire outdoors are in progress. MN ski pass required. Separate snowshoe trails are also available. Open house Sundays 1-3 pm will resume in January.
