Get skiing while the skiing is good!

The grooming turned out just beautifully yesterday. The grooming team set tracks and snow-combed all the trails yesterday after the fresh snowfall, and all trails were freshly snow-combed this morning. Conditions are very good for classic and skating. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch today, or bring your own picnic! The fires are going.
