All the trails were groomed today and the ski trail had fresh tracks put down. Snowshoe trail is in excellent shape and ski trail is in very good shape with just a little softness on the surface. The bike trail is a mixed bag with the shady sections nice and firm and the sunny, exposed areas turning into mashed potatoes. If you're planning on riding, early morning or late afternoon/evening will give you the best experience. Once again, if you're rutting up the trails, it's no fun for you and more work for me.

Skied classic track blue trail. All trails open. Excellent grooming, well marked trails. Great place to ski. Thank you to the groomers, great work.

Absolutely excellent conditions for both skate and classic skiing. There were also a fair number of snowshoers and fat tire bikers out. This trail system is fantastic for several winter sports.

Not sure what the total came out to but we got a lot of snow yesterday! Justin and I made multiple passes on the ski trail today, packing it down and setting track on the final pass. It's pretty soft, the tracks may be a little wavy and there may be an occasional berm in the skate lane. We will redo it all tomorrow. I groomed the snowshoe trail this morning and it's in great shape. Bike trail still hasn't gotten any love - sorry.

I skied the red loop including both out and back options. The trails were all freshly groomed. It was minus five when we arrived and about plus five when we left. The skate deck was firm but boy was it SLOW, even with Swix 4 glide wax.

We've been getting significant snow all afternoon/evening - 8-10 inches so far - and have been packing the ski trail since 1pm and just came in from grooming and track-setting the entire system. We are still getting snow and the wind has picked up - trails will likely need to be groomed again in the morning. The snowshoe trail was groomed earlier today but have not had a chance to touch the bike trail yet - hope to start working on it sometime tomorrow but as of right now, it's not rideable. Thank you to my son Justin for helping out in the other groomer all day.

We've been grooming and clearing branches and limbs daily since the Sunday night ice storm and have all of the trails - ski, shoe, bike - back in excellent shape.

Finally we've made it to this little gem of a trail system. Not as much snow depth as the lake effect areas to the north but plenty of coverage everywhere and groomed to perfection. Really an impressive place, with separate trails for skiers, snowshoers, and fat bikers - all are groomed. The chalet is the nicest we've ever seen. They even offer equipment rentals. Terrain is gently rolling, so it is not boring but also not terrifying for beginners. Family-friendly including for the dogs. 5 stars! If you haven't been there you should add it to your list.

Time to come out of hibernation - temperatures are back above zero, sun is out and trails are in excellent shape. We haven't picked up any fresh snow since we groomed on Tuesday but I did scratch up the skate lanes this morning.

The fatbike and snowshoe trails were groomed on Monday and the ski trail was groomed and track set today. All trails are in excellent shape. Dress appropriately if you come out to play the next few days - I hear it might get cold.
