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!

Nordic skiers only

SKIERS ONLY ON GROOMED FAIRGROUNDS TRAILS PLEASE!!!!!!! Sunday AM some non-skiers walked to the back side of the big hill and went sledding. We’re fortunate that the current snow conditions (solid base underneath and enough fresh snow on top) made grooming out the many many footprints not too terrible. It could have been much worse. With different conditions the trail grooming cleanup could have been much more challenging. Please pass the word around the community - no walking or sledding or snowshoes or dogs on groomed nordic ski trails at the Fairgrounds. THANK YOU.

Sun 2/8/26 Super Sunday

Due to the very cold temps today we plan to groom the new snow mid-day. We rolled it yesterday to get the process started and to help hold the new snow in place. If you ski it this PM expect conditions to be very soft as it’ll take a couple days of grooming and settling to firm up the new snow. Enjoy this sunny cold winter day!!
