Groomers are out setting track and combing skate lanes. We have received 8” of new snow over the past two days. All 21k of trails will be groomed by mid afternoon today. Expect soft conditions with a compacted base of 15”.

Groomers are busy rolling all 21k of ski trails today! Trails should finished grooming later tonight or early tomorrow. We have 5” of new snow on the ground and it’s still snowing.

Trails remain in good to very good condition. Skate lane is flat and fast, tracks set last Friday, December 30th, are holding firm. Groomers are watching the weather with snow forecasted for today. We plan to renovate the skate lane and reset tracks tomorrow, January 4th. Snowshoe trails are in awesome condition.

Groomers were out this afternoon to reset tracks and renovate and comb skate lanes.  Conditions are very good and fast.

The warm weather has affected our grooming operations. No grooming is slated for tomorrow, Friday. With temps dropping on Friday night, groomers plan to be out again very early on Saturday morning to reset tracks and renovate and comb skate lanes.

Today Bluebird, Voss Lake, Birch, and Otter Trails were rolled, tracks were set, and the skate lanes combed. The skiing surface is a bit soft on our recently groomed trails.  Skiers will notice “tree litter” when skiing through red and white pine groves due to recent high winds. Overall, the MECCA Trail System is in good skiing condition.

Groomers set track and combed the skate lanes today on Wolf, Moose, Homestead, and Osprey.  The deck surface is soft for skaters and classic skiers will experience soft pole plants.  Tomorrow, Tuesday, groomers plan to break through drifts on Bluebird and groom the Voss Lake trails.

Merry Christmas! Our groomers were out today battling drifting snow and high winds. Trails east of the flowage (Wolf, Moose, Homestead, and Osprey) have been rolled and fallen trees removed. No grooming is scheduled for tomorrow, December 25th.  On the 26th, we will tentatively set tracks and comb skate lanes on trails east of the flowage. There is significant drifting on Bluebird which will take sometime to open up. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Groomers were out today rolling 4” of snow we received overnight. No grooming was performed. More snow is forecasted for tomorrow, Friday, along with strong winds and sub-zero temps which will limit trail work. Note: Care should be taken when using trails because of the high possibility of winds blowing snow-laden trees.

The Mercer area is under a winter storm warning for the next few days; very cold temps, blowing winds, and heavy snow. Groomers expect to deal with downed trees coupled with heavy drifting. Tomorrow groomers plan on rolling and tree removal, most likely no grooming. We will keep you updated.
