❄️ Trail Report as of 1.29.2025 ❄️

Mercer Sno-Goers:

All groomers are out tonight making those trails flat before the warm up coming Thursday. Trails are thin, icy in spots, and rocks showing. Conditions vary from fair to poor but are rideable. We are still in early season riding conditions. Please slow down out there, everybody’s safety should always be on your mind.

Silent Sports Reports:

MECCA Trails:

Mercer picked up two inches of lake effect snow early this morning. Groomers are out setting track and laying down corduroy on the skate lanes. Surface is a bit soft.

Winman Trails:

SKI: Crew was out early this morning regrooming the entire system after about an inch of new snow yesterday. Not that amount we were hoping for, but still nice to receive a fresh layer and groom the entire system.

Joel was out on Tuesday with the leveling drag continuing to make minor adjustments as we can with any new snow to provide the best skate deck possible. Total base is 4-5 inches so not a lot of depth to work with but happy to have full coverage and “A Ski” conditions.

Overall very good to excellent ski conditions today and the temperature is almost ideal. Get out and enjoy.

FAT BIKE: All fat bike trails were groomed Monday morning. There is about an inch of new snow on top of a firm base. We are going to hold off on grooming until Friday. That way any ice that may form on Thursday during warm conditions can get reconstituted with the snow.

Plan is to temporarily close the fat bike trail system on Thursday at 11am and reopen at 5pm. This will protect the base and prevent ruts with the warm, sunny weather on Thursday afternoon.

SNOWSHOE: Snowshoe trails are open and will be a great option. Snowshoes are required. Remember, we offer free to borrow snowshoe in the chalet if you need.

SLEDDING: Sledding hill is open and in great condition. As always, parents please monitor your kids if they are on the sledding hill for everyone’s safety.
