Its a sad scene for snow lovers

its melting....

out at the Fairgrounds. SO much melting as days of warm weather come our way. Our nordic ski season started late this year - we didn't groom until mid-Jan. But then it was pretty consistently okay until early March. A bit up and down of course as weather is always variable. Overall we had a good season I think. Our Nordic Hawks skied strong this year under the direction of our Varsity and Middle School Coaches. And the BKL program had a good season too. We hope you enjoyed some skiing out at the Fairgrounds this winter. I'm almost sure this is the end of the road for the season. But if Mother Nature delivers more snow, we'll re-evaluate and take action. Spring is approaching and that too is a good thing. Enjoy the day. /groomer sasquatch/

Sun 3/9/25

Fairgrounds was groomed this AM and is ready for your skiing enjoyment. With a 0-8" base and a groomed granular surface we think you'll find it surprisingly skiable. Only trails in the front half were prepared - nothing in the back 40. Some trails rerouted around the spring water hazards. Don't expect primo mid-winter conditions but very good considering the overall situation. You should get out and enjoy it today because it may be your last chance at the Fairgrounds. Enjoy your Sunday. I'm off to tap some more maples and collect some sap. /groomer sasquatch/

Sat PM 3/8/25

We'll try to give the Fairgrounds a round of grooming (scraping) tomorrow morning. The super warm days and rain we had mid-week took a toll on our snow cover. But we might be able to scrape out a skiable path around the front - not likely into the back 40. The forecast starting Tuesday is for temps well up into the 50s again which suggests that our nordic season is rapidly coming to the end. And I can say that as a small time maple syrup producer I'm not too happy with this March forecast either. Its too warm too fast. I'm afraid its going to be a very short sugar season. But as with the snow, we'll try to do our best with what Mother Nature delivers. I'll post an update Sunday morning. Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead an hour tonite. /groomer sasquatch/
