Comments: It is no secret we received quite a bit of warm weather the past week and a half. Even with that, the ski trails held up very well and our overall snow-on-the-ground decreased minimally. We are still looking at about 15 to 16 inches of standing snow in the woods with an average of 9 to 10 inch trail base. Groomers have been tilling the last couple days to break up the top layer. Expect fast conditions and a firm base – firm, not ice. Skate skiing is especially good right now! Temps are predicted to be in the 20’s and teens in the 7-day forecast. If you are looking for good snow still, you’ll find it here!
