Mike is grooming this morning. Skate lanes are firm and feel like they are in good shape. Classical tracks that have been here a while are a bit icy but groomer is out setting fresh, deep tracks. Wear sunscreen!

We finally have what appears to be a Winter Wonderland! Everything that needs to be covered by snow is covered, the trails are in great shape. Track setting looks great and was a lot of fun to ski on. Thank you to everyone involved in making this such a nice area to ski!

Trails were awesome! Some of the best skiing of the year so far! Amazing job keeping the trails top-notch!! Could barely even tell there had been snowmobiles through. Hats off to the groomers! Classical tracks are firm and fast, and the deck was perfect! Went all around the perimeter for a 5mi ski at sunset, and even the wind held off.

Combined over the last few days we have gotten about 8-10 inches of heavy, wet snow on the trails. Our groomer has been working for 6 hours rolling the trails and setting the tracks. Unfortunately, we had some snowmobiles enter the Arb from the north end of the property and ride down trails and into wetland areas. Mike, our wonderful groomer, has done a remarkable job of repairing trails. All trails are open. Firm skate lanes. Set, deep classical tracks.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
4-5 inches of new heavy, wet snow overnight. Groomers have been out and rolled. We are experiencing more heavy snow coming down now with potential for more. Skate lanes have been set. Groomer will set classical tracks in the morning or after snow lets up. Very windy. Parking lots are icy.

A million thanks to the grooming crew for making the best with what has proven to be a difficult winter with freeze/thaw cycles. I had an excellent ski playing on both skate and classical tracks. The classic tracks are fast and fun. I used a universal klister and it worked fine even for the variable conditions encountered in protected vs. sunny areas.

Freshly groomed this morning. Skate lanes and tracks reset. Skate lanes are firm and tracks are hard and deep. No leaves showing. Get out here quick before it all melts!

All trails are in great shape at this beautiful place to ski. The groomers did a nice job of packing the foot of snow they had to work with. Things were pretty soft out there but should firm up nicely.

We got 7" of snow last night with more on the way! Our groomers are out working right now rolling the snow and setting tracks. Glorious weather!
