Conditions at Red Pine Ski Trail are great, considering all the recent rain, melting, and so on and snow forth. 37F, good base, no bare spots, just one main dirty segment to deal with in a dense Eastern Hemlock stand, otherwise is fine. The surface is pretty firm both on the ski trail and the intersecting Ige Age Trail, which serves up great running and snowshoeing.

Thanks Guy for the great maintenance of the classic trails at the Ridges and the classic trails at Red Pine. I skied the Ridges on Wednesday and it was fast after the fresh snow and skied the Red Pine today and was the best this year so far. The melt from the warm temperatures yesterday and the cold temperatures today made for a very fast track. Hills were loads of fun, lots of double polling, very little debris. Best skiing in several years.

Seven inches of new fluffy snow helped cover the debris from last week's high winds. Ridges trail groomed for classic skiing is in good condition. Expect some debris. The red pine trail groomed for skate and classic skiing was groomed Wednesday night and is in good condition.

Very little new snow on the lakeshore this week. The ridges trail was groomed Wednesday evening with good full depth tracks. There is a fair amount of debris from the hemlocks. The skate lane on the red pine trail is in good condition as well as the classic tracks.

Thank you Guy for being so timely with the grooming. Everything looked so pristine. I was the first to ski the classic tracks on the Red Pine Trail and though things are a bit soft it was otherwise perfect. Three times around and the pace picked up. A few oak leaves litter the trail. Though I didn't touch the corduroy it also looks pristine. Things should be good for awhile finally.

Very little new snow and plenty of rain this week reduced the base and left a crust on the surface. Skate lane was just groomed and should be in good condition. All classic trails are fair. Expect debris form the high winds.
