LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
SUN, MAR 29
Forbush Corner: We will be open at 9 tomorrow, shop closing at noon. We will leave the side gate on Roberts rd open for those wanting to ski. We will not be grooming due to the warmup and rain in the forecast for the week.
Watching the weather, and if conditions are favorable we will continue operations this coming Saturday and Sunday. So, if you want to ski this week, we ask that you leave a $10 trail fee in the slot in the wall near the east front entrance.
Nubs Nob: Excellent base depth and grooming. The snow was already pretty sticky by 11:00am with the warm temps and sun. Possible snow later this week means there is still a chance of nice ski conditions right up until closing day on April 5th. If you can hit the freeze-thaw just right it’s awesome out there.
SAT, MAR 28
Vasa Trail: The conditions were fast with control today. Get out there tomorrow before it the warming temps. the nipple and Jack Pine is not groomed, but was very skiable.
Vasa Trail:
Forbush Corner: Over 90 skiers came out today to enjoy beautiful weather and great spring skiing conditions. We are going to keep up the momentum by grooming east side trails with the Piston Bully and freshening up the west side skate deck with the Tidd Tech tomorrow leaving existing classic tracks alone. Open 9 to 5.
Stokely Creek: Big groomer went out this morning to get the trails in good shape for the day. The snow has been falling so there’s so light snow on the fresh tracks. Office is open till 4 today!
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%.
