Not bad, the little snow that we had today was nice, and it made for a good ski. I looked at crossing the River to Basswood, but no one has done that for a few days? And I decided against risking it, not sure how good the ice is yet.

Was a decent ski. Chickadee trail was packed down by skidoo, but no tracks on it.

We went out right after lunch, and we were the first ones out of Esker and Lime Kiln, breaking trail. Hard to see the old tracks with the fresh snow, so it was a little sketchy. Its pure ice under the new snow too, so the ski poles don’t really work too well either. But if…Read more

I’d rank them all at 8 or 9 out of 10, for very good skiing.

As a note, though, the Maple ski trail won’t last long if it gets warm, because there are some pretty thin spots on it.

Across the river, Basswood was in amazing shape. Cottonwood was only skier tracked and rough though. And across the other river, Maple was in really good shape too.

There is enough snow to ski, but there are no tracks, so you are just making your own tracks on top of the walker tracks. I don’t recommend it, unless you are desperate to ski

You are correct the groomer did break down toward the end of the season and we are working on having it repaired.

I did Aspen – I’d rate the Aspen cc ski trails as decent. There were a lot of areas that I’d rate as a 7/10 for spring skiing (skier made trails and icy but not bad), but the leaves are starting to show in a few places and there are a few holes in deeper snow areas, so you had to be careful.
I also did Bluestem – and…Read more

Trails were skier set only with the new snow, but there seemed to have been a lot of skiing done on them, so they were in pretty good shape, and decently fast. was a good ski! Days are getting longer 🙂

There was a gentle snow falling, so the tracks were sticky. Hasn’t been groomed lately, but I’d call the conditions for most areas a 8 / 10, with the occasional 7/10, and a few rough spots.

There are still a few bad patches, but for the most part, the trails were in good shape and made for a very enjoyable classic ski
