Cooler temps today. We're keeping the hayfield alive.

Good morning! Used the snowmachine to groom lighted trails, stadium, and trailside elementary. Temperature dropped for a few hours with bouts of freezing rain. For now the surface appears skiable. However, if you make it out use extreme caution as weather continues to glaze tr...

Expect variable conditions. Snowmachine groomed the Lighted trails and a few dark trails. However, sadly with the current rainy precipitation and temperatures it's likely that the trails have re-iced over. The Green loop and Biathlon area were groomed with fresh track set and ...

Smoothed out the skate marks.  Made several passes on the Christy.  It's going to need some more work. I see there's a couple of trees on mamas that need a little chainsaw love.  We are not getting much set out of this ground ice. I'm hoping the cooler temperatu...

Made three passes on both sides to rough up the ice a bit. Ski with caution and think SNOW!

The trail base is still workable with good coverage despite the warm-up. Made three passes on the entire system, except a few cut-offs. Watch for icy patches and ski with caution. Have a good one!

Trails groomed up amazingly well today. It's very fast. Keep an eye out for a few dirty spots from the frost heaves.  I think the classic tracks might be ok after a few skiers pass on them. 

The first 1.5 loops were freshly trackset on 11/25. It's shallow in spots hut skiing pretty well overall. Happy thanksgiving! 

Groomed upper 5k and Austrian Ave with steel drag. Trail is flat with some nice sections but lots of grass, roots, dirt showing through so be careful, especially on hills. Still excavation going on at dog parking lot. 

1-2 inches of new snow at Glen Alps. DNR snowmachine groomed the trail from Glen Alps Trailhead to Ptarmigan Pass intersection which is now in much better shape with only a couple of rocks poking through.

Slikok is groomed the best it can be with the big frost heaves. Need lot more snow to get it in better shape. 

Decent coverage a few dirt spots.  Definitely not ready for good skis.  Couple of the hills are a bit misshapen from heaving. Not many ski marks. This is 5K of lighted well-designed trails through interesting terrain that you'll have frequently to yourself. Definitel...

Packed snow, still very thin.  You will hit rocks and ground often.  Be careful on the downhills.

Tsalteshi single track has setup 👌. Give it a try. Slikok is needing more snow, but rideable.

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve received the green light to start grooming Archangel Road! Stay tuned here for the latest updates!

DOT recently used the Independence Mine area for snowplow training, which cleared the roadways. We’ll need to wait for a new snow base before grooming can begin. Our team is ready to go as soon as cond...
