Almost all of the 17km of trails were groomed yesterday or today.The snowmobile is down and waiting for a new belt. So I groomed today with the tracked 4-wheeler, which wanders a bit, so the tracks are not as straight as I would like. Overall, very good to excellent conditions. Rollercoaster is only partially groomed because I couldn't get up one of the steep hills due to warm/soft snow and not having the Sherpa to pull the Ginzu.

After 3 days of packing, then rolling, then grooming with the Ginzu, all of the trails except Gaiter (thin ice on the marsh xing section) are done and in excellent condition. I skied (classic) after grooming today; tracks were excellent but the snow was slow (too warm, around 32 degrees). The skin skis were way better than my waxable skis.

Most of the trails have been packed and then rolled last night or this morning. Very slow going because I spent half the timeoff the snowmobile, shaking snow off the hemlock trees (we have a lot of them). Hemlocks are beautiful but they sure catch and hold onto aton of snow! I plan to groom the trails Wed. morning. It will be soft but beautiful.

Spring-like skiing today at FS! The trails are holding up just fine so far. I would describe conditions as very good to excellent. My skin skis performed surprisingly well in the 40 degree and sunny conditions. Note: The camp buildings will be closed until Dec 26 but the trails are open.

All of the ski trails (17km) are groomed and open. I groomed Rollercoaster for the first time today, so it will be soft, but everything else is firm and looking good. Note: the camp buildings are closed until Dec 26th.

I groomed most of the trails this afternoon; 15k of our 17k are done and in very good to excellent condition. Skidder and Jammer are much improved. Rollercoaster is still not open; it is taking a lot of work to open it because of the steep hills, a small creek crossing and the deep snow (hopefully open by the weekend).

I re-groomed the 7km of trails that have been open for the past 10 days or so, then was able to get around Skidder and Jammer with the Ginzu, adding 5km to the skiable total. Cold temps should help firm things up. The Sherpa is fixed now, so we should be able to add Gaiter, Rollercoaster,and the Connector trail to get up to 17km open. Plenty of snow here, come to Rib Lake/Westboro to check it out.

I groomed and skied today. Great conditions for going a little slower than usual since the snow is a little drier than usual. Approx 8km groomed; the outer loops (another 8-9km) should be open by Tuesday). No trail fee required,.

After 6 hours on the tracked 4-wheeler today, we had 6km of groomed trails looking great, about 3km of packed and rolled trails, and 8km of just packed trails. Then it snowed about 2" this evening. My plan is to re-groom the 6km of trails tomorrow morning, then the 3km of rolled trails. And then I need to get out and ski! The trails north of Rustic Rd were packed with the LMC today so those will be rolled and groomed sometime soon (Monday?).

Both skate and classic were in very good shape. CFS never disappoints.
