Forbush Corner Cross Country Ski Report – 01/14
Thursday January 14, 2021.
Current trail report: the freezing rain and warmer temperatures of yesterday did not effect the base at all. The trails we groomed today came out as good as last weekend. We plan to groom up more trails tomorrow and if we get the snow they are predicting it will be enough to really freshen up the trails. Should be some good skiing this weekend.

Tuesday we had some freezing drizzle and Wednesday temperatures went up to 40 degrees and sunny. We will definitely have the snow making loop groomed for skiing today. The other trails still have good coverage, but any trails that are not freshly groomed will be firm and fast.
Forecast is for some new snow Friday morning which will help the grooming/ski-conditions for the weekend.
Open 9-5
