My favorite trails:
Trail marking: Very good
Trail grooming: Very good
Rating: 4 stars
Likes and dislikes: An intricate complex of trails groomed for skate and stride. Well marked, but lots of intersections that require stopping to check the map for directions until you know the trail. Trail is flat and adequately wide with rolling hills, a couple hills get steep. Mostly hard woods with some slashings and pines. A wonderful ski area with well-groomed trails. Definitely worth skiing.
