Notes

Trails are on the golf course. Some nice hills but most of the course is pretty exposed. There is one back leg that is quite shaded and seems to hold snow long after the rest of the course loses it. Rentals at the chalet.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Conditions at Como are still really good. I skated a couple laps around 11:00am, skate deck is wide and firm. The snow has a few dirty/debris spots, but they are easy to miss. It was windy, but there wasn't drifting since the snow is pretty consolidated at this point. I wouldn't hesitate to use good skis. The classic tracks mostly looked pretty good, they were washed out on some of the hills. Thanks to the groomers for keeping up the late season grooming!

Skied at 5pm, trail was groomed today; classic tracks look good. The skate deck is wide and mostly excellent. Two loops were added back in today - 0.2k on hole 12 that has been out for a few weeks due to some construction, and the 0.3k loop on hole 2 (out all year). Both are bumpy and very soft - the additions won't be much fun until they get packed and smoothed with more grooming.

Skied the course starting at 8pm. It was very windblown and compact. Classic tracks were very shallow and essentially unusable. The past few days of sun and wind had made conditions difficult. Did not appear to have been groomed in at least a few days.

The course is quite wind blown and as such, the classic tracks were almost nonexistent in most places and largely unusable. In the small parts where they were usable the snow to the right of the tracks is still to soft for a good pole plant. The deck is in much better shape though a good grooming will help it quite a bit.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Conditions are reported as great at Como. We groomed everything today after a couple of days off. We have had some equipment issues but will try to groom every couple of days while conditions allow.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Skated at Como around 4:00pm today. Conditions were generally good, skate deck had been groomed since the last snow, but was pretty soft and starting to get a little broken up in places. Some ruts were starting to develop on the downhills and corners. Groomers did really good work with all the fresh snow. Another round of grooming to pack it more and it should be fantastic. Classic tracks mostly looked good, though in a few places they were shallow or wallowed out. Lots of folks were out, which was great to see for early March.

Excellent conditions for skating at Como. Great base with a little snow on top. Only one pole plant throughout the course. I did expect the course to be softer, but it was perfect. Great job by the groomer this morning.

Soft and getting softer - I thought it might firm up with traffic but the structure just broke down with each lap. Still way fun!

This isn't your expected March snow - deep, dry, and fluffy. The groomer had made a pass, and was taking a second round when I finished. Skiing on the half of the trail that was ungroomed left a ski and boot hidden from sight, covered in snow, but still very skiable due to the firm base, the dry snow.

Skied as new snow was falling. Skate track has good solid base with an inch of new (as of 11am). Should be great when the new snow is rolled on top.
