Pattison had just received six inches of snow this week, was pack yesterday, and tracked only moments before we got on the trails. We had the whole trails system to ourselves today! Tracks were still very soft and we packed them down an additional half to one inch as we skied. It made for hard work and sore muscles, but so worth it. We skied all trails twice. Skin skis work extremely well.

Ideal conditions today. Track well set. Looks like they had groomed not too long ago. Low 20's for temps so snow conditions about perfect.

Pattison was freshly groomed today and absolutely beautiful! If this is on your bucket list go now... tracks were in great shape, 99% debris free, pole plants 99% firm, views themselves are worth the drive. It was peaceful and serene having the trail to ourselves!

Trail seems to have been cleared of trees from snow storm damage. Went in for a city block or so and turned around due to poor conditions. No tracking on trail. More work needed.
