5" base, good condition, groomed not tracked. This morning we got things groomed before the temp. hit 36F. Please be patient with warmer temps we might not be grooming until we get below freezing weather. Warm weather is hard on equipment.

5" base all packed, good condition. We have broken down equipment but will still be grooming weekly with different groomer and machinery, we had to just groom and pack due to 12" of new snow.

By early afternoon, about four inches of new, ungroomed snow on the existing base. The falling snow was on the sleety side. The snow is forecasted to continue until evening. We used the parking lot on Hwy 70; the lot was unplowed when we left at 2:30. We used waxless backcountry skis but skinny skis could work if there are skied in tracks. A fun outing though harder going compared to fully groomed trails.

Good with 3" base all trails are groomed with military and east tracked, not enough snow to track other trails. Still lots of debris from recent wind storm mostly under hemlock canopy.

There is 3-4 inches of fresh snow on top of an uneven icy base. It's skateable but very difficult in spots. I'm surprised there was no grooming done on the busiest weekend of the year.

Major winds last weekend has left a lot of debris on trails and the rain has made a hard skiing deck. Conditions are fair to poor 2" base, The trail will not be groomed until we get a few more inches of snow. Looks like we will shoot for Tuesday if weather permits it.

Good fun on trails today, classical all day not tracks set but generally it was OK. Lake Loop was amazing with good snow. West Trail was well skied and could benefit from a few more inches of snow. Ninemile was good with few patches of grass showing.

2" base all groomed conditions poor to fair, some debris under hemlocks 9 mile, west and east trail. Watch for holes on devils run and military, still need more snow to fill. Might be able to track on Thursday.

We have 2" on trails so we are just waiting for more snow so we can set a base.
