Beautiful classic tracks with only a few thin spots.
Should be a lovely place to ski this weekend. Enjoy!!

Surprisingly very good grip and glide. Basically skier tracked with the new snow over the harder ice tracks. Double skier tracked the whole way around. No walkers on Bluestem but asked several walkers not to walk on the Chickadee.

They double track set classic tracks all the way to the Grey Owl cabin. The grooming was excellent. Firm tracks. Very little debris. It was an absolute pleasure to ski on these tracks in a winter wonderland. Thanks to the groomer! Great work.

The Squirrel/Beaver trail was skier tracked.
Disappointed that this potentially world class ski area is so poorly maintained in terms of grooming.
