For those thinking of going out for one last time tomorrow, I went out this morning around 8am for a skijor just as it started to snow. Snow coverage was very good on the western trails and I did not come across any bare spots at all. There were some…
Still lots of snow, trails were a little hard and glazed this morning but they should soften up later today. Some ATV tracks on 11, but western trails were fine. A few deep boot marks at the entrance to JGL to avoid, and there is a (frozen) puddle on 4th…
Western trails are nicely groomed, including Moose and 10/11. Not all turns at trail intersections have been groomed though – most notably the gee turn from Bypass to 11. Snow is hard and fast but still good for skijoring, and will soften up a little as the temperatures warm up…
Skijored the Moose and 10/11 loop this morning around 11. It must have snowed on Friday and Saturday after the grooming on Thursday, because the snow was deep and soft on Moose. The portion shared with the skidoo trail was good, and the main trail on Concession 11 was not…
Western trails have been groomed and are in good shape, although not all of the turns have been done. Parking Lot Bypass is a little soft in spots, and there are a lot of footprints on this trail between Moose and the ski trail intersection, so be careful in this…
Both Gun Club and Tower Loop had been groomed, but I only skijored on Gun Club today around 2:30 in the afternoon. Snow coverage was good, although there are twigs poking through the trail throughout. Some debris on the trail as well, especially in the southeast corner near the ravine.…
Unlike yesterday’s slow and sticky conditions, the colder temps today made the trails fast with just enough snow on top of the icy base to maintain control. The dogs loved the faster conditions, which made for a very nice skijor on the trails.
There is still some snow in the woods if you want to get out one last time, but it is getting thin. Quite a few bare spots on 1st Trail near the parking lot – I would not recommend it all. Big Pine, 3rd Trail, 4th Trail and West Boundary…
Short skijor on the Gun Club loop around 9 this morning. Temperature was around -3 so trails were still a little hard but still softer than yesterday. One spot of bare ground about halfway on the north side that cannot be avoided – I had to stop and take off…
Skijored this morning around 9am on Moose, Concession. 10, the 10/11 trail, JGL to Broken Ski Pass, and 4th Trail across to Parking Lot Bypass. Temperature was -6 and windy, so trails were a little hard and icy and it was difficult to do anything on skis except double pole.…
