Thursday 6:00 PM

We groomed up all 92 km this morning, including all connectors, by passes etc. The trails are looking and skiing well. No new snow forecast for tonight so we plan on grooming the first 20 km of the SISU course with both Pisten Bullies to check how we are looking for next Saturday Jan 10th SISU. FYI, Jan 10th the majority of the combi trails will be used for the SISU Ski Fest, details on abrtrails.com or sisuskifest.com. We will have about 50 km of trails open from 9-noon for day skiers , the majority of the classic only trails will be available all day as will the 5 k dog trails combi trails, Deer Trail,, Historic Trail. The entire trail system will be open at noon for all 92 km. My suggestion is come to watch the racers on the course, volunteer at an aid station or road crossing and then ski all afternoon…and into town.
