The snow-spreading efforts have yielded great conditions!

We received about a half inch of snow last night, and the Headquarters trails are in really good shape! Trail doctors Mike and Tony did a lot of snow spreading and some targeted trail doctoring this past week, which yielded fantastic results. Groomer Mike will snow comb the skating lanes this morning, and set fresh tracks on the Trappers Cabin trail. The best conditions are on the Rolling Hills, Trappers Cabin, Wild Turkey and Manitou trails. Many of the hard-packed spots were re-covered by snow doctoring efforts yesterday, so aside from bits of oak leaves and a couple remaining hard-packed spots under the big trees, it’s overall great skiing and should be enjoyed by many!

Weather Forecast:
Today: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around this morning. High 22F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70%.
Tonight: Overcast. Low near 5F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow: Cloudy. High 12F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
