About 2"of fresh, powdery snow fell last night and blew around quite a bit, leaving the more open areas with some drifting. In the woods the tracks were reasonably easy to follow and anything skier tracked was picking up some glide. Pole plants are hit and miss, especially on the more trafficked west loops. Oversized baskets are helpful if you have them. The trail has been groomed a couple times this week and has generally been in excellent condition, so wouldn't be surprised if they're out there soon touching it up.

Beautiful snow and grooming on these trails! Only saw two other people. Good place to ski while avoiding the howling wind!

These trails are amazing and in perfect condition. Trail had fresh snow today and was rolled and tracked. Tracks are still in great condition.

Beautiful conditions, great track. Looks like all trails are open but I don’t think the Tettegouche connector goes all the way through yet.

Amazing winter wonderland ski in the Northwoods. We were the second people on the newly groomed trails. A little soft outside of the single tracks but no complaining. At least 15 inches of new snow makes for spectacular conditions.

Arrived to loads of new snow. We broke trail for an hour and a half. So beautiful. As we were leaving the groomer was coming around. Go out and enjoy.

Snow was falling on perfectly groomed tracks. They have received a ton of snow so there was some soft, bottomless pole plants. Who’s complaining really. Beautiful first time ski and will return the next day.

The spur out to Bean Lake was only skier track but all the rest was fully groomed. Getting a little icy and some thin spots. Fun to discover peoples snow art.

Mint! Once again Northwoods does not disappoint! Enough snow for a great base and you can get a good pole plant. Grooming is excellent and made for a fun adventure finding the wooden Santa’s hidden in the trees. Missed seeing the bird feeding station at the end but all in it was a great ski!

With about 5-6” of fresh powder, the trails are getting real good. Just a few thin spots. I only skied the middle loop and it was just gorgeous. One lap with blue wax on B skis and one lap with good skis.
