We received 1-2 inches of snow throughout the day yesterday and last night. The grooming team will be packing it down and snowcombing the skate lanes throughout the day today. The classic tracks are in great shape, and they will be reset today or tomorrow morning. The conditions will be excellent for the weekend. We have a 5-6 inch base packed on the trails, and 9-10 inches in the woods. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch – try classic chili with a Bosco Stick! Join us for an epic winter weekend, with best-of-season conditions, mild temps in the 20’s, a free ski lesson Saturday, live music Sunday, and awesome food and drinks every day!

Our demo center is open everyday! Work with a ski expert to get fitted, then try out skin, skate, waxable classic, or back country skis, so you can feel confident that you picked the right skis. Have fun out there!
