There was great skiing to be had over the weekend in the Forestville area. The last freeze/thaw cycle created some really firm pole plants. I got out to ski Sunday night after dark and even through the low areas and the bridges I found very good skating (a few spots of dirty snow were noted […]
Trail Reports
We survived the warm spell although there was a bit more rain than expected at least from where we were sitting. The deep cold returned in a very short amount of time and the re-freeze began. This is actually a blessing in disguise as these freeze-thaw cycles can create really solid pole plants. We are […]
A few updates on course to mention. Note that all final course details will be made available at bag pickup/ski expo on Friday Jan 26th at the Superior Dome. The race bulletin will be final and readily available in print. Please also note that we are in the time of year that things can change […]
Four more inches of new snow fell again overnight. The Bombi is running to the Co Rd 510 trail head TODAY! The rest of the NTN grooming crew is out roll packing everything from 14K down to Tourist Park. This means if you’re in the area you can now ski Tourist Park all the way […]

We missed all of the lake effect during the cold snap – it all went to the east or west of us. Despite that, the trails are doing quite well although the usual thin spots are thin but those are easy enough to ski around. The base is nice and hard and the groomers are […]

Some sections in the hemlock groves will be too thin yet for tracks…will need to get some system snow before those really heavily covered areas start to build depth. It would […]
Groomers went out this morning at Forestville with the Ginzu equipment and we are pleased to report that the skate lane is coming along nicely. There is some thin cover in places however. All Forestville trails inside 17K will be groomed or roll packed but if you are skiing in the area please use extreme […]
