Conditions: Going fast. Still some good-very good sections, but others are icy and several bare spots were emerging on Friday late morning. Should be OK for rock skis on Saturday morning for anyone who wants to get out one last time.
A great season that started on Dec 10th and lasted until April 5th. Thank you very much groomers. Hope everyone has a very enjoyable and safe summer.

Conditions: Icy and not groomed today.
Conditions yesterday were very good. This morning they were poor. Only a few bare spots but a lot of icy areas. Skiing will not be good unless we can get more snow or the ice is ground up. There are a few good areas, but every warm day makes these areas smaller.

Someone groomed early this morning, smoothing out a track that was a bit rutted yesterday. This is spring skiing at its finest; beautiful sunny days and great corn snow. Timing is important. Yesterday I started skiing at 9:30 and during the hour I skied I went from crust to soft snow. Today I started at 8:15 and the snow was already beginning to soften. The warm temperatures and sun yesterday afternoon burned a hole in the purple trail at the power line, as you head out on the purple. Otherwise there was complete coverage today on all sections I skied.
Last years trail improvements have come to fruition. The new section on the purple trail, after the pine cathedral, has complete coverage. I looked at the old route and there is bare ground in the usual spot. In addition the new purple to green cutoff allows you to avoid the bare area on green at the power line.
It is hard to say how much longer we will be able to ski but there is still a good amount of snow on much of the trails. As long as we have below freezing nights we have a good possibility for out and back skiing.

Conditions: For April? Fabulous! Considering we were finished skiing the first week of March last year, this is great!
While there is still plenty of snow in the woods, the trails have deteriorated some in the last couple of days due to our warmer temperatures following some rain on Sunday. No grooming the last two days and the base is beginning to breakdown in some places. Full coverage on all the trails, but the pine sections have a fair amount of debris and there are more sections of ice especially on the back side of the purple, especially near the marsh.

Conditions: Best spring skiing ever!
Trails were fast and fun. Nice track set and only one bare spot on the green. Fantastic April skiing!
