XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 03/12


Join German Dave out on the sun deck today, but don’t forget to bring your sunglasses!

Spring skiing prevails! Our snow base on the trails continues to hold, with a small number of thin spots, bare spots, and icy spots. The Trapper’s Cabin, Wild Turkey, and Mackinaw Cut trails are in skiable shape, but because of some icy downhills, Rolling Hills and Manitou should only be skied by experienced skiers. Rock skis are recommended due to the bare and icy spots. Skiers are welcome to borrow rock skis or metal edged skis from us if needed. We will not be grooming today as it would be counterproductive with the minimal snow base remaining.

Be sure to join us for Ribs & Blues today! A spring tradition at Cross Country Ski Headquarters, Ribs & Blues celebrates live music from the West Side Blues Band, made up of local artists Don Mick and Dan McCullough. Enjoy what is surely some of the best barbeque in all the land: German Dave’s famous slow cooked barbequed ribs, cooked over our outdoor fire pit by German Dave himself! Kick back to the tunes of some truly talented blues musicians in a festive, outdoor atmosphere, while feasting on succulent ribs, scalloped potatoes, and cole slaw. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for kids 8 and younger.*

Today: Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 59F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
