Summary
Conditions today are hard-packed and icy, with minimal grooming due to the low snowpack. Temperatures dipped to a frigid 1.1°F overnight, keeping the existing snow firm and fast—but not forgiving. With snowpack levels 84% below average, coverage is extremely limited and terrain options are minimal.
Looking ahead, no significant snowfall is expected over the next 72 hours, and cold temperatures will persist. While the sun may peek through, it won't be enough to soften the icy surface. Skiing today is not recommended for most riders unless you're looking to sharpen your edges and test your control on challenging hardpack. Keep your gear waxed and your turns tight—or better yet, wait for a fresh snowfall before heading back to the slopes.

About the Area
Ski-Tonka Ski Resort, located in Minnesota, does not have any significant mountain ranges or mountain aspects as Minnesota is known for its flat terrain. However, Ski-Tonka offers a variety of ski runs and slopes for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, as well as terrain parks and tubing hills for winter recreation. The resort also features a lodge with amenities such as rental equipment, lessons, and dining options.
The resort boasts of several well-maintained trails, including the beginner-friendly Little Dipper and the advanced-level Black Diamond. A little-known fact about Ski-Tonka is that it was the first ski resort in Minnesota to have snowmaking capability, which allowed it to extend its ski season.

After a long day on the slopes, head on over to the resort's cozy Fireside Lounge for some après-ski drinks and snacks.
