Currently the only skiable trail is our 800 meter man made loop. If you are looking for hill workouts you can go up and down our ski hill when it isn't running. The ski hill runs 11 to 4 Saturday and Sunday.

Check out the manmade loop this afternoon, they were making snow.

Skied from 9:10 to 10:30, temp from 27 to 35 at the end. Trails are mostly covered but thin in lots of places (in the sunny parts and the pine forests) The blue inner loops on the West side have the best snow cover due to being in the shade. Red trail between 1 and 2 K needs to be carefully negotiated. The lighted loop has decent snow but I tumbled twice hitting debris and/or rock just under the surface. Rock skis only, get out early.

All the trails have been groomed this morning and are in fair to good condition. Currently the only track that is set is on the man made loop due to lower snow conditions. The lighted 1600K is in good condition you should be able to use B skis on that loop.

The trails are in surprisingly good condition for the lack of snow. The base is thin and there are spots that are rough in the pines. Overall the skiing was great and the day was beautiful for skiing!

I was surprised at what they did at Rocks with only 2 inches of fresh snow. All trails rolled and packed, but very thin coverage. Rough in some spots especially in the pines. Rocks skis for sure, but at least we are skiing. Last picture is of the new lights on the Green trail. Lighted until 9:00 am daily.

Surprisingly good on 90%. The climbs had a fair amount of leaves, but anything flat was decent despite the thin base. Maybe 3 plus inches yesterday and last night. The lighted loop was particularly good for skating and classic, although no classic track. The short manmade loop in by the downhill had a rock solid track.

The trails have been packed with the 1 to 2 inches of fresh snow. There are still some thin spots and rough areas. However you should be able to ski all the trails. Would recommend rocks ski just to be safe. No track is set at this time.

Man made snow loop in great condition after the big rain. They must have tilled to work up soft snow and only minor sticks worked up in one area. If skiing prior to downhill hours, the downhill area is available for long gentle climbing.

Just skied 90 very pleasant minutes. The artificial snow loop around the Lodge warrants race skis - but the loop is only 0.7K and the lodge is closed (but only a 3-4 minute ski from the side parking lot). The lighted loop is 1.4K... yes, there are a few bare spots and rocks, but easy to see and ski around. They scratched up the surface so it was easy to get an edge when needed and also very easy to ride a flat ski. Finally, I went out out the main trails and skied "Out Back" by the gravel pit - I was pleasantly surprised, as even though the trails were not scratched up, I could always get and edge and also comfortably ride a flat ski (though I did avoid the big hills)! In summary, use rock skis to be safe, but I would not consider the trails icy or unsafe in any way... now that comes from a 30+ year Birkie skier... non-racers would probably call the trails marginal and unsafe, whereas I had a blast and will ski again tomorrow!
