This was my first visit to this trail. The classic tracks were unfortunately littered in numerous stretchs with a lot of oak leaves. That's the risk with allowing an abundance of small scrub oaks to grow next to the trail.

Every season I try to ski a trail I've never skied before. Mission accomplished. Tomahawk is a great little system! Grooming was excellent. Fun, rolling terrain, spacious parking and a nice little warming shack. Lots of Oak leaves though! Someone needs to invent a groomer/leaf vacuum for areas like this. Did the first loop with waxables and, surprisingly, my wax didn't pack with leaves. Second loop we did on skins. Kick wasn't quite as good but the skins went over the leaves a bit better. Great day. Would definitely come back!

Groomed all trails both skate and classic. Trails are in excellent shape and have firmed up since the last snowfall. Enjoy!

Skied the blue trail a few times. Very soft track. Maybe better with another pass of the groomer. Crossed the other trails there and they looked the same.

Groomed the entire trail system tonight. It will be a bit soft till it sets up. Full depth classic tracks and flat skate lane. Seems the trail recieved over 10 inches of snow but hard to tell with the drifting. Rolled yesterday's snow last night and groomed today's snow on top of that. If you're in the area for the Birkie and want to get a ski in before or after the race, Tomahawk is a good option. Good luck to all the Birkie skiers!

The skate deck on the outer loop was groomed to get the new fluff and drifting blended in. Most of the classic tracks on the outer loop were not reset as the cold snow was a little chalky where they were reset. The blue classic only trail was not groomed as it is skiing well.

Our first time on these trails. Skied the entire yellow loop. Really enjoyed them. Conditions were very good. Very little drifting. Sunshine and 8 degrees. Perfect weather. We will be back.

The entire system was rolled and groomed today. About 3 inches of new snow made the trails about as good as they can be. The areas exposed to the wind will drift in a bit. Cold should firm things up .Thanks to groomers Bruce and Mark for rolling.

I skated/trudged the badger loop. That is a comment on my skiing, not the conditions! There is an inch of fluff on top of the nicely firm and flat deck. It was just me and some deer and a wolf this morning. Our grooming plan is to start right after new snow stops. If there is more than 4 inches we will roll first, otherwise go straight to grooming.

Did a loop and the main deck is quite nice. The short cuts were not groomed but actually skied really well. We will get those groomed next time we are out. We are trying to figure out the timing of the next snow so we can get it groomed right after and let it set up in the cold air.
