We skied the 7k and the short loop today and it was a treat! Huge thank you and hugs to Mark for getting out there yesterday to put his magic touch on the trails so it would be perfect today! Tracks were 99% in tact with just a couple of corners a big messy. Tracks were 99% debris free and anything that was in them allowed my skins to glide over it. Pole plants were solid, tracks were solid, scenery was gorgeous! If you are an intermediate skier or above go, go now - it's really nice! If not,the short loop is great too and for beginners.

Great day of skiing at korkki! It appears it's been a few days since the trails were last groomed so the tracks are getting a bit washed out around the corners.

Recently groomed, but was a bit soft and slow with a layer of fresh snow. Beautiful. Excellent ski day.

A late afternoon ski was super enjoyable on this old school / classical / beautiful and flowy trail system! The trails were solidly tracked throughout. Debris was scattered here and there, but nothing to prevent great gliding. One always departs Korkki with that nordisk hygge feeling!

Skied Korkki Thursday. A lot of debris in the track, as you would expect. Despite that it was surprisingly good with waxless skis. Recent higher temps may make conditions icy. I'm gonna wait for new snow before I return.

Track is in great shape, thanks to the groomers. Some small debris on the trails from wind, but nothing that will get in the way, except a deer head and spine severed by a wolf overnight! Just beautiful conditions, 6km loop and IkoMaki is in great shape. Cold morning, Merry Christmas to all.

Mark Helmer says: Merry Christmas gentleman. I groomed Dorothy's and the 7.5k loop. Ran out of time and batteries to do everything. Many trees down yet again. I may have time in the morning to try and get the back loop open. We'll see. If not I'll be out first thing in the morning on Monday. If I wasn't Scandinavian I would be discouraged. Just learned that there are more trees down after I got in.

Mark Helmer reports: I dressed the trail this afternoon. Probably again tomorrow. Dave Johnson adds: It has been snowing all day in the Duluth area, a very light fine snow. It will be cold and slow but wonderful skiing at Korkki.

From the owners: Day 5 of working to open the trails. Dorothy's loop regroomed. The 5K groomed. Grooming plans: We will have the back loop groomed tomorrow! Everything will be open very soon. I'm tired but very happy.
