Wednesday, March 12 – 6:00 pm

We groomed 45k today. It was a convoluted route that had nordic pulse scratching their algorithms to figure out where we went. We are grooming Tamarack as a combination trail so you can ski to the Highlands via tamarack combi trail or you can use the blueberry/highlands combi connector. There a few wet spots we groomed around so I suggest you follow the groomer tracks tomorrow, or better yet ask at the front desk.

Skiing today was great spring skiing on your best skis if you stayed on the right groomed trails. The narrow classic only are not so good “poor” because we don’t have a 5 foot wide Bully. We are groomed the wider trails where the Pisten Bully’s fit on.

Trails being groomed are Tamarack combi (skating allowed), River, Popple, memory, silos,blueberry to cold feet, cherry, deer, hilltop loop, and the majority of the highlands. Ridge runner and puumala are closed for the season.
