Feb. 24, 2021: The recent surge in temperatures followed by overnight freezing has induced significant transformation of the snow, with some glazed/icy sections in the classic tracks. There are some sections of trail that have deteriorated with thin, dirty, and melt-out sections, in particular on Old Ridgeway East near the front entrance. We will be grooming and resetting this week and into the weekend; please watch for grooming equipment and give our groomers time and trail to work - please stay off the trails as they are being groomed. Skate lanes are rated as very good overall, and classic tracks are rated good.
