FRIDAY6 PM

this is the kind of ski/trail report I love to write…..all trails groomed and open. The new 3 inches really leveled out the trails and made for new clean classic tracks. Ridge Runner is classic only Saturday, skating Sunday. Puumala is skiing good with a few spots to dodge, it was opened today. Wolf tracks still a few spots to watch. Skate lane groomers will be out early am to make fresh corduroy. Don’t forget to order lunch tonight from Suffolk street Eatery …delivery at 12

Thursday 6 pm

what a blast today grooming the new snow into the old base. We had 5 of us out there today”bombing around” as we call it …better known as grooming with 2 way radios. We start out with a plan and then change it as needed….today Crasher groomed the south skate lanes including the new redesigned…calmed down Ridge Runner, he also headed east on Deer Trail and did the Historic Trail. BullDog, Partner and Snow cross teamed up on a major widening, leveling and renovating of the classic only trails setting new track (they broke a few eggs to make that omelette)…..code they brought up some debris in the process, Pig Heart picked the Candy w the big 108 and groomed skate lanes north….then headed out on Jessie’s Trail the Tamarack 2 track to level and renovate ahead of the w classic trail groomers….broke a few more eggs down on the south end

Skiing was rated as good today, dodging the egg shells on the classics and very good on the combo trails for skate and classic. 1 inch of new snow slowed the skating down mid morning.

It is snowing, we have a groom crew scheduled to groom at 6 AM; 2-3 inches forecast.

Hendrickson House is open to rent until Jan 30, 3 or 4 Rustics available Dec 20,Dec 22-26 and Jan 2

Wednesday 5 pm

what a fun morning of grooming, we had 6 of us out in 2 teams of 3. I headed north w Black Smith, And Bull Dog and we renovated and reset tracks on the “candy” River, Popple, Memory, Sulos, Deer, Cherry and Hilltop. Classic tracks turned out pretty good mixing in the old and new snow and skate lanes were mint. Crasher, Snowcross and Wully Bully groomed to the south….they also had a successful result…..skiers were pleased….it snowed all day and we have a 5 person groom team on schedule for 6 am, we will work on some classic only trails and the combo trails.
