we had a fun morning of grooming, we had 5 groomers out …tricky with the temps but the crew pulled it off. It is snowing now so grooming should be easier in the morning. Lodging open in The HILLTOP Dec 8-18, 2 night minimum, the new HENDRICKSON House is open next weekend and open thru Dec 29th.
Sunday 9 am
5 groomers are just coming in. Very tricky grooming but the trails turned out much better than expected. We groomed all of the main trails and reset a few tracks including Tammarack
Saturday 5;30 pm
we had a great day of skiing today and lots of happy skiers. Groomer crew groomed about 56 km of trails today and reset tracks on about 25 k. We will be back out in the early morning grooming, check in at the ticket booth or chalet for a current report .trails open at 9 am.

Friday 5:30 pm
we had a great day of skiing, the new dusting groomed up well this morning. We regroomed most of the skating and reset classic tracks on about 35 km. All trails are open except Puumala. Skiers were very pleased with the snow and trails. Classic tracks received a very good grade. Hilltop and Hendrickson trailside houses are open next weekend, along with a few rustic ski in cabins
. Skiers if you have a picture from today or the day you ski text it to me 906-364-3502. Snow on the trees and smiling faces with the trail in the background gets an A+ grade, I enjoy posting these pictures on the website.
THURSDAY 6;30 pm
WE were so happy to wake up and groom 6 -8 inches of dense snow. Our groomer crew showed up and groomed most of the the trail system…(they even packed Puumala Trails to freeze for next week.) WE have about 55 km tracked and 40 km groomed for skating as of tonight. I think that will change to 72 k tracked and 48 k groomed for skating in the AM at 9.
