Any word if Trollhaugen will be open during Turkey Day holiday ?

I have no inside information but based on the forecast with several nights of snowmaking temps starting tomorrow they'll be open. They have a new pumphouze and more guns this year and are always super aggressive. I'm going to Lutsen this year assuming favorable weather but have spent the last three Thanksgiving weekends at Troll. Pretty chill with minimal crowds.Quote:

Trollhaugen delivers.
What a fun little place. I might have been here once years ago as a Boy Scout. Not sure.

It’s only 1pm and I am taking a break out in the parking lot. This place is a blast. Real young crowd, everyone out having fun. So nice to see this.
I’m headed back out for more. Stand by for more Midwest STOKE.

Harry, do you get up to Bohemia? I hear that it is totally rad.
Pretty little picture of wilmot there. Article is a bit hyperbolic on the midwest being more than what it is, but I can understand.Quote:

The Lutsen web cam is pretty bad ass except it shuts down at night which stinks. Temps look good tonight and then for a few days they have some really cold air mixing in.

Day Two of researching gravity at Trollhaugen.
Snow was soft up top and at the bottom, but boilerplate in the middle. Yesterday the whole hill was soft top to bottom. Today was a lot colder too.
Talking to my ex-HS GF (we went to different schools), she is from Amery and belonged to the ski club. They took a bus to Trollhaugen every week.

Thanks for your stoke you bring to these pages, Harry !
I have great Respect for the great attitude you are showing toward midwesr skiing - Thank you !

I would also love to ski the Troll with some Maggots this season. I’m about an hour south, so I usually ski Afton. But a number of people I used to work with at Snowcrest/Birchpark in the early 80s are there now. I know, I’m a bit of a fossil, but I won’t slow you down unless it’s a powder day!
You know Alan and Carol Wessel?Quote:

Instructors. Relatives of mine; used to ski with me as a teen at Snowcrest/BP.
I Googled them and it didn’t jar my memory. I couldn’t find any pictures from around that time. They would have had 30 plus years on me and they were probably not hanging in the bar as much as I was at the time.
WTF... when Vail took over wilmot they moved closing from 11 to 9. Still salty.Quote:

The wife and I went to the top of Mystery Mountain on our 3 hour exploration hike, which the dog thought was awesome. Lutsen is an awesome campus, snow or not. We still have lots more poking around to do. They had a lot of snow but seemed to have prioritized making snow in various places rather than getting things open for the weekend. I'm sure it will get better fast with mostly 24 hour snowmaking.
Regardless, the ski camp was an unmitigated success, as was the mini maggot mini summit.

Supposed to top out at 60 degrees here today. 42 on Saturday for deer hunting which is a bit better I guess.
Going to need some colder air to get skiing rolling at scale this far south.
Meanwhile looks pretty wintery on the North Shore.
