A bit of snow arrived! A couple inches of snow was enough to get the groomers out Sunday morning. All trails groomed with two sets of classic tracks. Conditions are good.

With the rain and freezing temperatures, the trails are in poor condition. There are dirt spots in some areas and icy in other areas. Groomers will not be going out.

The trails have only been packed and no classic tracks have been set. Snow depth: 2". The trails were fair to poor. Up in the prairie it was decent, but elsewhere there were areas of ice, dirt, and debris on the trails which made the hills tough to navigate. It was a bit foggy but the hoar frost on the trees really made it beautiful.

After receiving about 3 inches of new snow, the groomers went out and packed all the trails. Good for skate skis. Classic tracks will not be set until there’s more snow.
