Snow and Trail Conditions Update
As of 3/9/2023:
Daytime temps generally in the 30s lately and going forward. Those spring hazards are coming out...icy corners, gravel, blacktop, rough logging spots, dirt, sticks, etc. Overall though trails are holding up pretty decent for March riding! Forecast looks manageable on the 10-day. Plenty of good riding this weekend ahead and hopefully can stay out next weekend too. It's been a great year so far in Rusk Co. Let's keep it that way. Stay Safe, Ride Right.

Grooming ReportAt this time of the year, I realize a grooming report referencing the previous morning is somewhat passee. However, I don't want to overload your email inbox with more than one message per day. If you're looking for something more timely, check 'Trail Conditions' (top center ofย our website pages) which are updated morning & evening during the ski season.Conditions:ย EXCELLENTย skating Tuesday morning taking advantage of fresh sugar snow corduroy that provided fabulous edge control and a great glide.ย Best skate skiing of the winter!ย Theย classic track Tuesday was new on Excelsior Roadย (West Side), but elsewhere the classic track needed traffic to redefine itself as Monday's moist snowfall froze overnight into more of a crust. Groomers weren't able to groom sticky snow Monday evening, and just didn't have enough time Tuesday morning to freshen more of the classic track - rising temps and sunshine chased the groomers away before they could freshen more track on the East Side. Before the next snowfall, classic skiers can enjoy the March spring skiing by getting out there and busting track.More snowfalls and cool temps in the forecast,ย we plan on grooming the next snowfall to set up good skiing for Saturday.

Ladysmith Area Trails report:
Sisters Farm trail update- We groomed the West side trails today and with the 3 inches of new snow we were able to set a good track for skiing and have a great base for Fat tire biking and snowshoeing. The East side will be groomed tomorrow and should make for great skiing this weekend. Just a quick reminder to try and use the trails while the temps are below freezing, with the warmer temps in the forecast we can maintain our base longer if it doesn't get rutted during the time temps are warm. Thanks and get our and enjoy the trails while you can!
