X-C Ski Trail Conditions 1-25-2012
The groomed trails are anything but groomed. Recent warm weather and rain events have left a surface of solid ice, small ponds, dirt and a bit of hard snow. The trails are not suitable for X-C skiing now.
There is no way to make this surface usable without the addition of significant snow. Expect continued deterioration unless a significant (6 inch) snowfall occurs.
