Fairgrounds trails were groomed this morning. Some classic tracks set around the front field but not in back 40. Hope you can get out for a ski today before the next round of snow/sleet/whatever moves in late today. Depending on what the storm actually delivers it may take us a day or two to get things back in shape. Also, we'll be hosting a race at the Fairgrounds on Wed PM (2/19). Likely we'll need to close to general use skiing Tue & Wed as there is a LOT of extra grooming and race prep needed. Its been quite a few years since our snow has been good enough to host a race so Coach Rothe and our Hopkinton Nordic Teams are excited for a home field event!!

The grooming team is busy this morning with other responsibilities (work, med appts, etc) but plans to get out to the Fairgrounds before lunch and will be working diligently to get conditions tuned up after yesterday's wet snow and last night's freeze up. It should be skiable later today. Watch for updates here. Thanks.

It's VERY warm and mushy out there right now with temps well above freezing. The new snow is soft and wet. Please NO SKIING at the Fairgrounds this afternoon. We'd like to leave it as it us until it freezes up solid overnight. Then we can groom it in the AM and try to get it skiable again. Skiing in this soft wet snow leaves deep tracks which can be very hard to smooth out once it re-freezes. THANK YOU for your cooperation. /the grooming squad/
