Trail Detail
Notes
The East Trails travel through a forest dominated by evergreens with terrain that is gentle and rolling and suitable for skiers of all abilities. The West Trails travel through a forest of primarily hardwoods and offer more hills and winding runs through the natural hilly terrain.Trail Reports

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]
|
|
Last week-ends warm-up did not kill us but it did wound us. On Monday, the tracks were icy/slick and there was lots of tree litter on the trail so I decided to groom this morning.
The good: The trail is no longer icy and some of the tree litter is gone. The trails is smooth and only hard in a few places on the east side. We still have a good base in most places and should we ever get some more snow, conditions should be pretty darn good. The bad: There are some bare spots and some thin areas. The trail heading north (going clockwise) towards the "Big Hill" on the "Sunset Ridge Loop" is rough for 100 yards in an area that was rutted up by illegal truck travel this fall. There just isn't enough snow to cover it up yet. Ski tracks are shallow in many areas and the snow is "sugar snow" so the tracks will probably wash out after a number of skiers have used them. Overall the trail is skiable. Some of the tracks are fine but a lot are shallow. There are lots of pine needles on the east side so it seems the west side offers the best skiing right now.

After 3-4 inches of snow over the weekend we groomed the trails using our leveling drag and tracking sled. The tracks are full depth almost everywhere. There are some thin spots with a bit of grass exposed, but not bad for this time of year. The tracks on the East Side may not be as nicely formed because there was an issue with a new drag so we had to pull much faster than normal. I will check it out tomorrow and if they are not up to snuff I will groom the East Side Trails again. For early December things are looking good.

Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: All, ]

With the closing of Deer Hunting Season Friday night the ski trail is now officially open. There is not enough snow to groom and set a track but we have a good base after dragging the trail twice in November. There is a skied in track, albeit shallow, on all of the East Side and most of the West Side. The trail is very skiable. You could use your good (A) skis on the East Side but it is suggested to use B skis on the West Side for now.
