After the Spooner area received about 5-6 inches of new snow yesterday, the entire trail system was groomed for skating and a new classic track was set. The trails are in pretty good shape, and skiers will find seven kilometers of trail that offer plenty of coverage with good control. There is enough snow to use your good skis. The lights are on until 9 p. m. each evening... Happy New Year!

The 7-kilometer skate lane was groomed at Spooner's City Park yesterday, since then, the area picked up about an inch or two of new snow. The trails are in good shape for skate and classic skiing as the new snow added speed and control for skiers. There are a few dirt spots here and there, so B skis are in order. Note: A rogue snowmobiler did some damage to a small portion of the trail and created some ruts. The lights are on until 9 each evening... Happy Holidays!

All trails we were on were skiable, ocassional grassy spots in the tracks but not many. Classic tracks on all the trails and good skate skiing as well. Saw multiple people out classic and skate.

The Spooner area received about 6 inches of new snow. The 7 kilometers of trails at College Street Park were recently groomed. The skate lane is level with a few brown spots and a few soft spots. The classic trail was soft in a couple of spots and had some grassy areas now and then. Generally speaking, the trails are in good shape. Merry Christmas...Enjoy!
