We’ll be out grooming at the Fairgrounds this AM but it might take us 2 days of grooming to bring it back around to the good skiing conditions we’ve been having lately. The trails got VERY heavy use during yesterday’s race with very soft snow conditions so its quite chewed up out there this AM. We’re super glad to have been able to host a nordic race at the Fairgrounds this year. A great job by Coach Rothe and his race volunteers to make it happen!!!

Wed 2/11/26 CLOSED for Race

Fairgrounds nordic trails are closed to general skiing today as Hopkinton High is hosting a nordic race this PM. So Coach Rothe has been out since 6AM rolling and regrooming last night‘s snow to prepare the race course. And then he has TONS of work to prepare the course details - setting out barriers, signs etc. Races start at 3PM. If you go please be prepared for winter conditions - you’ll be walking and standing in SNOW. And please NO WALKING on groomed ski trails - those are reserved for skiers. Thank you.

Fairgrounds trails groomed up nicely today after the snow, cold, and wind of this weekend. There’s extra grooming effort going on in advance of Wednesday afternoon’s races hosted by Hopkinton High School to be held at the Fairgounds. That includes start/finish areas and some special trail planning. There will be LOTS and LOTS of high school and middle school athletes out there with races starting at 3PM Wednesday. And of course lots of parents, coaches, and various nordic skiing aficionados in attendance - they’re not all at the Olympics!
