LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
THU, FEB 19
Forbush Corner: The forecast for tomorrow is still uncertain. Trails held up well today. We will evaluate conditions and grooming potential in the AM. Check here or facebook for an 8 AM update.
Forbush Corner:
Stokely Creek: Excellent trail conditions today for both skating and classic. The base is deep with cold dry snow so the crust from the last couple of days blended up nicely with the fresh inch on top to make a very controllable surface with just a dash of ice for the speed lovers amongst us.
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: The trails are open today, but we will not be grooming. I went out on Trappers Cabin today and it is very skiable! We still have a very thick base and though some spots are a little glazed over and the tracks are pretty washed out, the skiing was lovely! Tall Pines has a fair amount of debris and some of the downhills might be a little slick on Rolling Hills, but with a good snowplow technique, very manageable! Things will be more firm this morning, and then will soften up with the sun in the afternoon. Trails will most likely be closed tomorrow (Friday) due to precipitation in the morning, but that will transition into snow by tomorrow evening and then we are forecast to get snow Saturday and Sunday, so we should have decent skiing this weekend!
Hiawatha Highlands: Good Morning Snow Peeps!! We got a bit of snow overnight, freshening things up beautifully! The temperature is currently at -3 C.
The groomer was out this morning -- ALL systems have been Piston Bully groomed for both classic and skate....and trails are looking terrific!!
We hope everyone has a super awesome, ridiculously fantabulous, crazy good, happy kind of day.....how could you not if you're up here skiing! :)
Hanson Hills: THURSDAY UPDATE — FEBRUARY 19, 2026
Groomer Dan is out this morning combing the entire trail system with our Tidd Tech groomer, freshening things up after recent weather .
Forbush Corner: Trails are holding up to the unsettled spring-like weather. Some limited grooming on the east side is expected. Check out Nordic Pulse on our website for groomers choice. Open 9 to 5.
WED, FEB 18
Nubs Nob: Outstanding today - perfect groom over 28” hardpack , blue sky , sweet spot timing between 10:30 and 12:30 - simply wonderful!
:
Crystal Mountain: Hills are currently closed until they can be groomed out. We recommend classic ski only right now. Fat tire bike trails are also closed but road riding is available.
Hiawatha Highlands: Happy Wednesday!! It's still a pretty mild morning, sitting at -3 C, and a lot of snow expected to come today :)
There was no grooming done due to no snow overnight, so skiing will be fast today; however, the wind gusts are expected to be high today, so please be careful out there.
Have a great day everyone!
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: Due to freezing rain and glazed over trails, we will be closing the trails today due to dangerous conditions. Our hope is that we will be able to chew thing up by tomorrow and reopen. We do see some snow in the forecast for the weekend! Stay tuned!
Hanson Hills: We’re receiving a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow this morning. Due to the weather and surface conditions, no grooming will take place today.
