Trails are packed and tracked. Tracks are thin in the pine forest on the east side, but the classic-only trail on the east side looks really good. Skiing should be very good for the next few days.

Groomed and tracked last night. Trails look great. FYI, all of the volunteer groomers at JM are or will be out of town this weekend, so if we get snow, trails will be groomed Sunday at the earliest.

All trails were groomed and classic tracks set last night. It was windy when I finished, so the snow was drifting in the open areas. Wooded trails look great.

Trails have been de-iced, groomed and tracked, with the exception of the SW Meadow, the Lower Hollow and the Central Meadow. Tracks look good, but may be shallow in a few places. We have plenty of snow left after last week's meltdown, so we can keep working the snow. Skate deck looks very good. Hopefully get to the remaining trails tomorrow night.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Take this report with a grain of salt as I am definitely considered a beginner. I skied from 9:30-11:00 am. The snow was very crusty and the track was icy out of the parking area. I attempted the roller coaster but the turning descents were to sketchy and I couldn't snowplow easily to slow down. I back tracked to the green loop and tried that and found it ski-able so I stayed there. There is one muddy spot that is hard to see on the main drag from or to the cars. I was going downhill when I hit it and it just about took me down.

All trails were packed and tracked Wednesday afternoon and night. Might be a thin track or two where the wind took the snow away, but otherwise conditions look very good.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
I classic skied all the trails today. Just confirming that there are tracks set but they are thin in some open areas and heavily forested areas. I recommend B skis for classic and good skis for skating. Nice to finally have some tracks to ski in.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
All trails were groomed and classic tracks set tonight. Classic tracks are thin in some open areas, especially Central Meadow. Otherwise coverage is good and skiing should be excellent this week!! Only reason for the B ski recommendation is because of a couple thin spots (I'll be using my good skis).
Reminder that we are re-working and re-printing our trail maps, so if you are unfamiliar with the trails print the map or snap a photo of it.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails were groomed last night. No classic tracks yet, but good coverage for skating. Until we have enough snow to set tracks, feel free to skate on classic-only trails. They are groomed a little wider to accommodate.
Note: We are in the process of re-making our trail map, so there are no maps posted on the trails. If you are not familiar with the trails, take a look at the online map and print it if needed.

Groomed about 70% of trails this morning with 3/4 in new snow. Good skiing on most groomed trails tho base is thin.
