We received another inch of snow throughout the day yesterday and last night, which will make for especially good skating and in-track classic skiing today. Groomer Butch did a great job snow combing and rolling in tracks on the premier trails yesterday – Rolling Hills, Mackinaw Cut, Wild Turkey, and Manitou – which are in good to great condition and suitable for “A skis” – just keep an eye out for a couple fair spots still left. Tall Pines and Adventure have improved quite a bit, and have fair to good conditions with a couple marginal spots. We are waiting to receive one more inch of snow before grooming today, which we are forecast to receive. It’s looking like a great weekend in the works for XC skiing!

Forecast:

Today: Variably cloudy with snow showers. High 23F. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

Tonight: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around this evening. Low around 15F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 40%.

Today’s Stone Turtle Day Lodge Cafe is the Rocky Mountain Chipotle Panini!

Tomorrow, Saturday, December 16th:

Come one, come all to visit the jolliest outdoorsman in the North Woods, Trapper Santa! Tomorrow from Noon until 3:00pm, children of all ages (including adults) are invited to ski or snowshoe to Trapper’s Cabin, where this rustic Santa will be tending the bonfire, serving up free hot cocoa and s’mores, and telling wintery tales. Bring your own skis or snowshoes, or rent for a nominal cost.

The Christmas sale is in full swing! Did you know our introductory ski package is on sale for just $259.42? Check out the Alpina Control 60 cross country ski package, or one of our other awesome Recreational No-Wax Ski packages
