Even though it's an unlucky day for some, it's your lucky day if you like to ski at Quarry Park. It's pleasant temperatures, not much wind (especially inside the park) and our crack grooming staff is working miracles with the ice/snow in Quarry Park. Yes, they are able to make ski trails out of the icy mess we have since the melt. It's so nice to have such talented staff and good equipment.

Have a great Valentine's Day, and what a romantic idea, take your Sweetie out skiing under the lights! Most of them are working now, except a very few on the inner loop. So go for a moonlit/ski light lit ski and enjoy the warmer weather, while it lasts!

It's a blustery, cold, rainy day out there. The snow is melting, the ski conditions are deteriorating. We are hoping for new snow. If we get 2-3" of snow as has been predicted by some radio stations, we will be able to re-groom the trails. Stay tuned to the Winter Ski Trail Conditions page for current updates. We update this every time they groom!

The Maintenance guys have been working on those pesky ski lights and got about 2/3 of the inner loop working. They can't do much more until spring. It's great that we still have the outer loop lit. It's 2.2 miles of groomed trail, with a skate/ski deck, in case you didn't know about it.

Stay tuned for upcoming events. Oh, and it's a good idea to start making reservations for summer now! Many spots are already taken.

Greetings! It's -10 degrees and sunny at Quarry Park today. The trails were groomed yesterday and I hear we have excellent skiing conditions! The Maintenance guys are grooming experts, and they can do wonders with the crunchy snow we've got left! We post the ski conditions every time they groom, so you can stay updated.In addition to ski trails, we get a lot of calls about snowmobile routes. We have special maps in the park office for the 4 sections of the state. Just ask and we will send you one. You may also be interested in Grant-in-Aid snowmobile maps at the DNR web site.
