Another 1 inch or so last night, we had the full groomer crew out again this morning, I was in the bigger Pisten Bully out power tilling and setting track on 20 k, and then ventured into the Highlands. I made 2 passes behind the snowmobile packers and brush/ blown down cutting crew. The Highlands look like they will
be opened tomorrow. We have it pretty well ready to the new Blueberry bypass as of noon today. There are a few slush spots on the Saari loop portion that can be by passed. Grooming plans for early AM tomorrow, we plan to groom with the Pisten Bully the 20 km, and work on the Highlands with a full crew…we plan to open the Highlands Sunday using the Blueberry connector as the exit until Monday. Skiers were very happy today with conditions. I did get some calls and I bumped into 3 skiers who volunteered to help clip brush on the open trails as they skied. The Foundation is looking for volunteers to snowshoe and trim brush with loppers on the Hemlock, Jack Pine/White Pine so we can start packing and grooming the famous classic only trails. See or contact Matthew, the new manager in the chalet or via the website. He has loppers and snowshoes available and maybe some SWAG.

Classic Day on the Nordic Trails!
We picked up another 4–5 inches of snow overnight, because apparently winter heard we were grooming and said, “Add more.” ❄️
Short grooming day, but here’s what got the fresh treatment:
• Yellow Loop – Skate & Classic
• Green Loop – Classic
• Easy Return – Skate & Classic
Skate deck is soft, so expect that “extra cozy cushion” feel under your skis. 😄
As for Tubing & Downhill—we’re not ghosting you. Tentative opening is December 20th, but if conditions let us open earlier, you’ll be the first to know!
Get out and enjoy that new snow! 🌨️⛷️🌲 |

12/12 John did some work on H to get rid of downed trees before the freeze hits.
We need more snow and cold weather to give it a groom.
All the other trails are in good shape.

Greetings Badgers,
Groomers James and Dale are out this morning resetting classic tracks and freshening the skate lane, making the most of the ½" to 1" of new snow since yesterday. They’ve completed the 5K and 10K loops and are now working their way through the rest of the trail system.
Their report indicates that conditions are looking very good and continuing to shape up nicely—so skiing today should be excellent!
Cheers,
The Winter Grooming Crew

What an amazing Thanksgiving gift! We received 8″ of fresh snow over the past 2 days and the snowy woods are a welcome sight! The ground is still not quite frozen, so we will not be grooming today, but the trails are open for powder skiing and rentals. Our plan is to at least pack the snow sometime before tomorrow evening, and then if we get the 4-5″ forecasted for Saturday night, potentially snowcomb some trails by Monday! (fingers crossed) The cafe will be open for food Next Saturday, Dec 6th, but we will have the fire going and some drinks available this weekend! We will send another update Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend! |
