Happy 2020! We got some great snow over the weekend and will be grooming Tuesday morning. The trails should be absolutely superb. Great dry snow, unlike the wet mix along the North Shore. No slop here. Try out the new Fat Tire trails too! Cabins are available for New Years and additional rooms just down the road at our Baptism River Inn B&B! Enjoy the snow!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Trails were groomed last on Saturday, Dec 14th. Our snowmobile is back from the shop but spurs west of intersections 2, 18, 16 and 14 un-groomed from most recent 9-10 inches. Fatbike trails are all groomed, but will be too soft to ride until warm up is over. Trails in good condition but wet 1" from yesterday in tracks. With weather coming in this weekend, will hopefully be grooming Monday.

Close to 3 feet of snow to date. Trails were groomed last Saturday, Dec 14th. Had a snowmobile breakdown that left trail spurs west of intersections 2, 18, 16 and 14 ungroomed from most recent 9-10 inches. Fatbike trails are all groomed. All other trails in excellent condition. Waiting on repair and will update after Christmas. Happy Holidays!

Observation

Wednesday night left us with about 8" of new snow. Great start to establish base for the season and maybe even set a track or two. We'll be checking out the trail system this weekend and plan to file another update on Monday.
