Early this morning, we dragged all trails and reset tracks which made everything excellent again. Our phat bike members should find the snow much stiffer now. Yesterday after rolling the new snow in, we decided that rolling hadn't compacted it enough, so today's dragging will help make your skiing or riding much improved. Looking at our forecast, this may be the end of grooming. Trails are always open!

Still excellent but may be the last grooming for this year. We rolled early today, and I followed to made new tracks. We had hoped to drag but there was just too much snow with the 15" we received over the past 48 hours. We did a normal pattern and double tracks trails where we usually do. Looking at our forecast, this might be the last for the year. Skiing will hold up for a while though, so be sure to get out!

April 16th and excellent! Early this morning we rolled this new snow in and we made new tracks. Here its the middle of April and trails are again excellent again! Our Phat riding members will find it rather soft, until we get can drag them. As of now, we plan on dragging them Tuesday morning and redo everything again. Photos say it all.

Yes folks, everyone knows we've got more snow moving in and skiing in the gorge and other locations was quite good today. Skiing on and off-trail was equally great today, with crust under new powdery, dense, flour-like snow. Colin was rolling the system when this report was posted. On Monday morning we'll roll again and make new tracks. Hope you get out there and enjoy the spring snow.

Early today we drug the wind blown snow in and made some new tracks. Conditions varied much, some locations were mid winter excellent condition, while others had no new snow so our pan couldn't inject into the ice hard base to make much for tracks. In particular, near the chalet the base is glacier like. So on average, we'd call them good spring conditions.

With new snow falling here, early this morning, we went around the system and made new tracks with the Ginzu. We'd now call them "Good spring conditions". Photos say it better than my words can.

Enough new snow fell overnight, so it was rolled and tracked early this morning! Conditions are now very good spring skiing.

Once again we had a beautiful sunny evening to ski a quick 10 K after work and before supper. The trails skied nicer than they looked. Skin skis worked pretty good, as many of the tracks were glazed. Everything should be about the same on Saturday, but Sunday will be warmer so the trails will soften up.

Early this morning all trails were dragged and new tracks made. With the warm/freeze cycles we've had, we saw widely varying conditions, from excellent to poor. We scratched the surface with the drag, but at many locations, the pan could not impress into the hardened base to make nice tracks. In general we'd still call them good spring conditions but without any fresh snow, we may need to end grooming operations. We just can't make them as nice as we'd like to see.

Early this morning all trails were drug and new tracks made. We are definitely getting into spring conditions here and trails showed varying conditions from excellent to poor, because of sun exposure. In general we'd now call them good spring conditions. Seems our lake has too much ice to give us any more fresh snow. Later today we skied, and trails/tracks softened, making skiing quite good.
