2024 Update

 Hello again! 

We had the opposite of last years winter this year and instead of a huge amount of snow that ruined the trails we had a max of 6 inches of snow this year. We tried to get out and groom but the lack of snow was really hard on the trails. We apologize for the lack of snow this year but we are looking forward to next year! 

Update

 Hello! 

We are back! We apologize for the Winter but the Early storms and heavy snow did a number on the trails and we are still recovering. we plan to open up and start grooming again next year so we look forward to that! Keep Checking in and hope to see you out there next season!!

Trails closed

 We are closing the trails. The bogs have unthawed enough that the trails have become impassable. Thanks everyone for a great year 

3/18 Grooming Update

 Switching to Spring Hours! NO SKIING AFTER NOON! 

The trails are still in good shape but with the warm up the trail have become really soft. the best time to ski them is in the morning. We are closing most of our trails for the year. ALL THE UPPER LOOPS ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. hopefully we can get them cleaned up and ready for next year. CANYON is currently closed due to the Snow. The meadow is still good and up  and running as well as the lake. Hopefully the Warm up has helped repair the Pond and we can get those trails up and running again. 

3/12 Grooming Update

The Moose Pasture Trails have suffered some pretty bad snowmobile damage. We will be working hard to try and get them up and running this week. but meanwhile the meadow is good.

1/16 GROOMING UPDATE!

 January 16th. Meadow Trail was Packed along with Moose Tracks and Overlook. We had some Open Water on Cair Paravel So we had to make some Last minute Changes to the Trail. as a result Cair Paravel is Open but the loop is brushier. Because of the Open Water we felt it wasn't safe to groom beaversdam at the time but the Plan is to Groom it later today.  Happy winter.

Report: Grooming and News

 Happy New Year!

We were able to Pack down most of the Trails over the weekend and with to cold they are ready to be skied in. Unfortunately the upper loops are Closed right now due to downfall on the trails, but we have all the Moose Pasture Trails Groomed and ready for you. 

The Meadow, Biathlon loop, and Moose Pasture, and Beaversdam are Groomed. 

Cair Paravel and Overlook have a little Brush but are fairly good. 

The Canyon is not groomed but this is normal as the hills don't allow for easy grooming.

See you out on the Trail!

Come celebrate Koivikko Nordic with Karelia Fest on November 13th 2021. Eat Karjalan Piiraka(Karelian Pasties), Pulla, and Cookies. As well as walk the trails, and roller ski with Friends. Hope to See you there. 

Happy Spring

Hello! 
Once again Spring has come and the Trails are closed. The swamps and creeks have opened up. There are no board walks on the Trails so we ask you to stay off them for now. This summer we are planning on cutting and clearing more trails. Next fall our goal is to do a wilderness running race on the trails when they are drier and there isn’t any foliage. Hope to see you there!
