Tuesday 7 PM

We groomed up about 32 km today; 20 km with 2 groomers on light equipment out to the Highlands and East. I groomed about 12 km with the bigger Pisten Bully on the old ABR Trails. The base was well covered except in 2 locations where the 2 groomers added snow to the downhills on the Highlands exit hill. We were grooming cold dry powder this morning!

Temps got warm again today and we are still above freezing. I am not sure of the grooming plan for the AM but we have 2 groomers coming in at 7 AM and we will decide. The trails skied well today. I closed the Puumala Trails, Pelty and Ridge Runner today to preserve snow on the steeper hills.

Monday 4 PM

I groomed 15 km at ABR old and then headed to town on the SISU trail with the bigger pisten bully. Trails groomed up well this morning. The temps got up to 40 today and it had cooled down to freezing by 3 pm. Trails are holding up well so far. We are going to close some of the expert and remote trails for the next 2 days. We will still have about 65 km open for skiing. Not sure what we will be grooming with in the early am. Most likely one Pb and 1 or 2 ginzu groomers. Kaartunen house available this weekend for 2-4 nights

Sunday 7 PM

A great day of skiing; we groomed and retracked 88 km of trails this morning with both Pisten Bullies Snow cover is great and classic tracks are full depth and mid winterish. Monday I will run the bigger Bully on the main trails in the early am and touch up.

Saturday Dec 11 4:30 PM

What a super day of grooming and skiing today! Crasher and Pig Heart ran both Pisten Bullies on the wide trails and Wide Track and Patner doubled up on 2 passes for all classic only trails. Skiing was excellent and the 28 degrees and sunshine made for a great day. Skiers were quite pleased today.
