Quick grooming update, pictures to come later: we did get between 6 – 8 inches of new snow (depending on where on the trail system.) The trees are snow-coated and everything is quite beautiful. Bob has been out grooming all morning. He stopped back into the lodge to report that conditions are fabulous, and is now out doing Ox Cart and Bear Cub. He will do the lake trail afterwards, and probably won’t get into the BWCA trail section until tomorrow morning. We’ll see — it’s a one man grooming show this week, with Quinn on spring break and other staff out sick. Poplar Creek won’t be groomed, as it has severe spring flooding.

This was a good amount of snow to cover the areas where a few rocks and sticks were beginning to peek through. The trails look good. Bring a camera, as it’s all super photogenic now.

We have more snow in the forecast for the weekend. The lodge closes as of April 1 but season pass holders will be able to continue to ski for as long as the snow holds.
