We’re happy to report that we ended up with around 6 inches of fresh snow, maybe more in some areas. Everything was groomed today, including the BWCA section, so the trails are in great shape.

A new problem emerged this afternoon with access to the Poplar Creek Trail. It appears a beaver dam that holds back the Oxcart Pond broke, and water is flooding over the Poplar Creek Trail. We have this problem in the spring when snowmelt water overflows the little dam, but in May it’s not a ski trail issue. Today it is. Our cold weather should freeze the water, but don’t trust it yet. Bob tested the developing ice and went right through. We will just have to see what happens. EDIT: it fixed itself over night! Yay, water freezes. 😉
