Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
The Essex trails were in fantastic shape this morning (rolled and combed Wednesday night). The 6+ inches of newly groomed snow made for medium soft skating Thursday morning. No telling what the 40+ F sunny weather will do to it, but will likely roll again late Thursday night to renovate before it all refreezes.

Trails are groomed and in great shape. Just a few areas where the slush made it's way through. Both skate and classic are groomed. Just be careful for the icy spots from runoff.

The trails were in excellent condition. The track is set and was firming up nicely. The skate deck was awesome - not too soft, not too firm. A few icy spots due to warm weather earlier in the week. Enjoy!
