Auburn Nordic Ski Association

Trails are open again!!   Unfortunately we cannot set any track but the skate lane is flat and fast.  Not all trails are groomed but as it warms today you probably can skate on the crust.  Top of Perkins Ridge Trail has an open drainage with pallets.  We have not covered the pallets with snow yet.  Trail side parking lot is closed.  Please park in our other lot across the street.  Baxter Outdoor Race is tomorrow at 10:00AM.  Course is on their webpage.

Our plan is to resume grooming Friday morning.  Even though conditions are not ideal it looks like we have a little colder weather coming.  Our goal is to open up some skating first.   We really need some new snow for setting an acceptable track.    

Trails are closed today due to warm and wet conditions.  It would help if people would stay off the ski trails.   We need to let trails drain and firm up before grooming continues which will probably be Friday morning.

Ski trails are closed today due to forecast.  Warming conditions and liquid rain later today.

No new grooming today due to our continued winter thaw.  Ricker's field is still in good shape with 100% coverage.  Old track still present with soft skating lane.  Wood's trails are going to be soft with some washouts.  Best bet is waxless skis.  Return to winter tomorrow should allow us to make for some excellent skating in the field.

Due to another warm night no new grooming today.  Skating lane is still soft in most places and there is track in Ricker's Field and the lower trails in the woods.  It is going to go into the 40's with little sun so conditions could be good.  No wax skis worked very well yesterday.  Trail side parking lot may be closed today due to warm weather.  Just park in road or in second parking lot.

Due to warm weather today we are not doing any new grooming.  Ricker's Field and lower trails in the woods are tracked.  No grooming occurred Thursday so trails are still covered with powder.  Pond Loop is not tracked but could be fun to ski in the soft snow.  Skiing should be fun as it warms today.  We plan to groom early Sat. and Sun. mornings if conditions improve. 

All trails groomed and tracked except Pond Loop, top part of Ken's Drop and Entrance Trail.  Pond Loop will be rolled this afternoon but no tracks.  Please do not ski down top part of Ken's Drop.  There is a bad washout at the bottom.  We cannot fix the washouts until we get more snow.  The new 2" of snow made the trails beautiful.
