Wide Track re-groomed all the single tracks today about 36 km. Pig Heart groomed about 20 km of the combi trails with the bigger Pisten Bully. Temps were moderate in the teens and the wind subsided. Skiing was very good.

Early AM Friday Crasher is heading out in the smaller Pisten Bully to groom Tamarack 2 track, Ridge Runner (Ridge Runner will be back to skating) Then from Jason Park he will head out on Coyote Canyon, Saari Loop, Hautanen Highlands, and Sulo’s and then come back on Tamarack 2 Track. Pig Heart is heading out with the bigger Pisten Bully to groom Pelty, Deer Trails, Cherry and the Dog Trails.

No grooming today, the trails groomed yesterday were skiing well this morning. Winds kicked up about 11 AM and skiing was fine in the woods but was drifted in the open areas.

Wide Track is heading out in the AM to regroom all classics and Pig Heart is taking the PB out to regroom some combi trails. Expect about 50-60 km of regroomed trails like yesterday. Ridge Runner is going back to skate grooming Friday or Saturday.

It was chilly morning with -10 F at 6 AM when Pig Heart and Crasher went out. Crasher groomed most of the classic only except Otter Slide and Puumala Trails. Pig Heart was in the larger of the Pisten Bullies and groomed the main trails with a few shortcuts. (Pelty, Bards, Meadow and the Dog Trails were left with 1-2 inches of powder. Honey Badger took care of the Pink Cabin Trail and serviced the cabins. Temps climbed to 1 above but with no wind and the sun out we had skiers, but mostly in the afternoon.

We picked up about 1 inch of snow overnight so I started grooming this morning and as the snow started heavy, I headed back to the barn with the Bully. We picked up about 2-3 inches of cold dry dense powder. We will have 2 groomers out early AM to have some of the 95 km of trails ready for skiing at 9 AM.
