LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
SAT, MAR 28
Hickory Hills: Best of the season skating conditions at Hickory Hills this morning. Both the hillside and meadow have been PistenBully groomed. Get there before it warms up. No classic tracks as I assume the deck is getting thin in some places, but coverage on the hillside is 100%.
FRI, MAR 27
Forbush Corner: We will be out grooming again tomorrow morning. Results have been springlike, fast solid skate deck early that softens with traffic and warming temperatures, and classic tracks that are fast early and variable in depth. Coverage is still 100%. Open at 9. Gates close at 5.
Forbush Corner: Great day of classic and skate skiing today. Classic tracks were shallow but still very skiable. Skate lane hard and fast. All east side trails and pines loop all groomed. Nice job groomers.
Thanks for a great day everyone at Forbush!!
Nubs Nob: If there is a Holy Grail for skate and classic Nordic Skiing , it is at Nubs Nob today !
Hiawatha Highlands: Happy Sunny Friday Morning!! It's a gorgeous morning up here....albeit a little more chilly, temp currently at -16 C. However, it's going to be a splendous day up here!
The groomer is currently on the trails -- the 2k Lighted was completed, Piston Bully groomed, for both classic and skate. He is currently on the 4k Pinder (no loops will be groomed today, still in good shape). The Crystal system will be done after that. We will update if the Red Pine system will be done.
Come on everybody, grab your gear, and take in this beautiful sunny day!!
Reminder: Come up tomorrow (Saturday) from 12-4 p.m. for our Customer Appreciation BBQ.....enjoy a hotdog (or two), and enjoy a lovely social afternoon :)
THU, MAR 26
Forbush Corner: The rain is moving out soon and the temps will be dropping well below freezing tonight, allowing us to head out on the trails tomorrow. We still have 100% coverage, but expect that the grooming will be a bit slower than usual. East side trails and Pines Loop will get the fresh groom. Trails and shop open at 9. Gates close at 5. (We plan to be open tomorrow through Monday).
Hiawatha Highlands: Good Morning Everyone!! It's another calm morning, a bit foggy. The temperature was warm overnight, now sitting at -1 C.
There was no grooming with the warm overnight temps, the trails are still in good shape.
We hope everybody has a great day :)
