XC Ski Report 2/1: The rain yesterday hit us hard, but the GC and the woods are skiable! The trails have not been groomed. They are firm but not rock solid. We did get the thinnest of dustings at the end of the storm which does help ski control. If you have a halfway decent snowplow, you should be able to control your speed on downhills if needed. You will probably need to click out and walk at the traditionally thin spots, There are bad ruts made by wheeled vehicles between the lookout and the top of the big hill on Ridge Run. All in all, if you can enjoy yourself in ok conditions, you will enjoy yourself today! It is a beautiful day, and the sun should soften the snow a bit as the day goes on. To borrow a line from Robert Cray, "The forecast calls for pain", so Ski IT While You Can!

Parts of Lippo Loopare washed out with sitting water, Many placed the same on upper Towhee, Albert's has a few too. Interstate indecent with 1/4 new snow on the trail, best bet is ski lippo loop and ski to the side when come to wet areas.

Overall, still decent coverage on the North Woods trails but you can expect some washed out spots from the heavy rains yesterday. Temperatures fell quickly overnight so, rain saturated snow is a little crusty on top, but not a very bad, with the snow beneath is fairly dense, and covered with a thin coating of fresh snow overnight as the temperatures dropped. Weather should be dry and fairly mild today with sun.

The trails held up well, our base is firm and varies from 4-10”. We received 1” of snow overnight and it’s lightly snowing now. Trails are fully covered. We are out grooming and resetting track. Conditions are good to go OPEN ToDAY AND SUNDAY 9-5. Stay tuned for Monday.
