Mike,

The trail is free, tho we ask that you consider donating to help
defray the considerable costs involved in grooming and maintaining
the system [last year we spent more than $5000 on the trail and new
grooming equipment!]. There are self addressed envelopes on the
trailhead bulletin board that you can use to mail in a contribution.

The trail is obvious in that it is all groomed---you just follow the
grooming! However, it is a bit of a maze so there are free trail
maps which are in another holder on the bulletin board.

The entire system was regroomed yesterday---the initial half
kilometer is melted out in a couple spots and icy in others, but once
you get a little ways into the network, it's all quite skiable, and
even nice!
