Like many areas in the mid west the recent very warm temperatures and rain over the last 36 hours has really done a number to the ski trails – there are now many bare spots and it is currently not skiable. The silver lining here is that once everything freezes up (occurring now) we’ll have […]
Trail Reports
As we get ready for ski season – some reminders about “trail reports”. This trail report will provide updates on general conditions in the region as they pertain to the Noquemanon Ski Marathon events. We will also provide information on the conditions of the race courses. If you’d like to keep tabs on the grooming […]
Varying amounts of new snow fell across the Forestville trail system over the weekend. As much as 8 inches of wet snow fell in the higher terrain, but much less towards the trailhead. The entire system was rolled and groomed and new track set. The new snow we did get was a welcome sight. Forecasts […]
The Forestville Trail system is holding up surprisingly well despite the low snow conditions however there are some problem spots beginning to show in some areas on side trails. The main Noque trail is still in good shape overall. The bigger story is the lack of snow in the upcoming forecast. Their was a planned […]
Thanks to the prep work of volunteers and NTN staff the Forestville trails are in surprisingly great shape so far – this despite our current low snow conditions. There are a few problem spots in the low areas but even those have been in better shape than usual for the amount of snow. The base […]
Planning for the 23rd annual Noquemanon Ski Marathon continues. The race committee is working towards some “as final as they can be right now” plans that should be released soon. We understand there hasn’t been a lot of information from our end lately but based on the fluidity of the situation we would have just […]

We continue to stay in a consistent weather pattern. We did get the forecasted 2-4 of new wet snow yesterday – maybe another 1 -2 today with strong chance for some of it to be a wintry mix. There is confidence that the west end will get another 1-3 tonight of the same wet snow […]
Some change to the forecast, but nothing major. The National Weather Service is still calling for anywhere from 2-4 inches of new snow by early Friday. So far, it’s been a wintery mix with a little bit of freezing drizzle mixed in the closer you get to Lake Superior. We expect mostly snow to continue […]
Course conditions overall continue to look pretty great. We aren’t quite sure about slush on the water crossings just yet but the big snow over the weekend did push some water up on the lower ponds (last 7K). Cold temperatures early this week should firm that up but temperatures look to moderate pretty significantly end […]
