Mines of Spain

TheDubuque area was able to keep 13 inches of the snow this past week. Hope we left some for the rest of you.

We groomed trails yesterday and today, Friday. Not good conditions to groom. We had some 5-6 foot drifts on the trails. Unfortunately we were not able to groom all the trails that we normally do.

The CedarRidge Trail was groome for traditional only.
The Prairie RidgeTrail was impassable. No grooming was completed.
We did put a free style lap in from the parking lot out to the over look on the Cedar Ridge. Take left as you would to go to the Prairie Ridge trail. Cross the bridge and take a left back to the parking lot. Not a long trail, but for those that free style it will give you a good short lap. Hope you enjoy the snow.

As a reminder- snow shoers and hikers please do not walk on the groomed trails. It is hard on them.

Skiers if you see someone hiking on the ski trails, please, politely ask them to hike one of the other 15 miles of trail or go cross country. THere is a sign at the start of the ski trails advising to not hike on ski trails.

Thanks and enjoy the snow. Wayne
