Went out and groomed today before wrapping up our season at Spruces. Some of the tree wells are becoming pretty deep and we’re starting to see more and more dirt patches around the trails. Still managed to groom both the Upper and Lower Spruces loops, but no classic is set. Big storm heading our way, but the conditions right now are great. Sushi Scale: Boston Roll

We are fighting the sun, the spring breezes and the Gobi desert dust from last month to keep the 5k open.

A short walk near the cottages will get you to really nice skiing on the far reaches of the 5k. Ski with awareness and some caution near those.
