Kincaid Trails Report
Sunday 12/9: Reports of 3/4 – 1″ of snow on the trails. Feel free to ski it in today…with caution of course, the base is still thin. Enjoy!
Friday 12/7: The trails have an inch of new snow trying to bond to the ice with mid-30 degree temperatures…not raining though. No grooming until we get cooler temperatures and hopefully more snow. Have a great weekend!

Hillside Trails Report
Sunday 12/9: One inch of snow fell and bonded to the ice so Matt groomed all the Lighted Loops and Double Bubble with the snow machine. He fired up the Pisten Bully and groomed the Gasline and set a shallow, cobby track right on the ice bed. Ski with caution and have a great Sunday!
Friday 12/7: Both Matt and Craig checked on the status of the trails this morning and report 1/2″ of snow that is trying to bond to the ice, however it’s getting saturated with the rain coming down and the mid-30 degree temperatures are not helping. No grooming and hoping for colder temps and some snow this weekend.

Beach Lake Trails Report
Monday 12/10: Bill was out last night packing and grooming the new snow. Just a head’s up…he made one pass on the Christy but toward the end found some water damage from an AWWU leak. He’ll be there today to fix the trail. Jr. Nordic starts today!
Saturday 12/8: For what it’s worth, Bill scratched up the trails last night. It was pretty warm and he is noticing more and more heaves and thin spots in the tails. Be careful out there and enjoy!
