LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
FRI, MAR 28
Stokely Creek: Ungroomed variable texture stiff and soft 6" on top of 3' packed base. Pykonens Pass was slow, except great on top of a machine track from yesterday in sections. Yesterday there was a pack of runners and a pack of dogs churning the trail into mash potatoes in places. They must have forgotten its still ski season.
Hiawatha Highlands: The correct link is https://nordic-pulse.com/ski-areas/CA/ON/Soo-Finnish which shows which trails are open and says "Good Friday Morning Everyone!! It's currently snowing up here, and then looks like some freezing rain coming.
Trails update as of 9:15 a.m.:
The Pinder system and the 2 km Lighted had skate lanes refreshed this morning, tracks still in good shape. The Crystal and Red Pine systems will not be groomed today.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Please be cautious out there with this impending weather system coming in."
