Night
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomed the trails and the field tonight. Good wide walking trail next to the single tracks. Cold and windy so if the snow doesn't drift over the tracks should be nice and firmly set by morning.

Grooming

Trails nice after snowfall. The back west hill off the SHT is still a little rough from drifting snow. Watch out for low hanging branches.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Most of the trails are in great condition however the groomer got stuck on the main long hill so expect some rough patches. Also, the field has one rough patch. Otherwise trails are in great shape.

Groomed wider than usual tonight. Sides might be a little soft. Hills are in good shape with enough room to maneuver.

Night
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Very soft snow. Went over with the roller once and the groomer 3 times. Snowdrifts in spots may result in some slightly uneven terrain and a narrow walking lane adjacent to the classic track. Some flurries still going on after the grooming was done may result in a light dusting over the track.

Grooming

Trails okay. Tracks not the smoothest and the west end near the SHT is uneven do to drifting snow. There is some debris from intense wind (leaf/twigs).

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
As noted by the groomer, the snow is still awfully soft at Bagley. Until the snow sets better following a grooming you can expect tracks on uphills and even inclines to get obliterated with herringbone tracks, as they were during my ski. If you are not a fan of the biggest downhill in the trail system, this would be a great time to ski this trail. There's enough fresh, soft snow on that downhill to take it as slowly as you like. You will feel very safe out here.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails groomed last night and this morning, they are alright. The large amounts of snow have caused some spots to get uneven and choppy. The west end by the SHT is the worst for drifting snow/uneven. Another groom after the widened trail is set should improve this. Classic skiing only. No ski pass required.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Groomed the whole 3k of trails Tuesday night late. Snow was very, very soft. Trails are alright, will be better if they harden up. There are a couple large divots where the groomer got stuck and had to be dug out so those may have to be skied around.

Night
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails are freshly groomed and ready to be skied. There may be a few spots that are a little messy but nothing bad. Be careful not to go off the trail even a little because the sides are extremely deep.
