Skate skied from Mosquito Brook past Gravel Pit and back. Mother Nature provided a nice 2" snowfall overnight to fill in the recent ski ruts and even out the skate deck, new snow was granulated but fast, provided good edge. I was first to ski on it. Not groomed but very fun and fast.

Skied south of OO about 2/3 to Gravel Pit and back. Great spring skiing! Fast in the tracks. Minimal debris. Skin skis were great in very variable conditions. Firmed up very quickly after 6PM.

Incredible skiing on the Birkie trail Friday and Saturday! Thanks to the groomers for giving us a clean, firm, and fabulous skate deck. As good or better than all year on the entire trail.

Skated Mosquito Brook to Becker Law Link (just past Hatchery). Mint conditions, fresh white corduroy! Maybe best skiing of year! Thanks Birkie groomers.

Skied the trails at OO, skated around east and west loops, and strided the easy strider trail by the lodge (on that the A loop wasn't groomed). Trails were solid and fast.

Started at noon from Mosquito Brook heading South. First tracks and only tracks from the Brook over the top of Sunset Hill and back. 2-3" of cold wind blown powder over a very firm flat trail base was amazing. It felt like a David Norris solo breakaway all day! Just saying! Thanks Birkie groomers and organizers to another exemplary year on the trail!

A perfect ski day on the Birkie Trail. Skied OO North. Perfect tracks, even the wind didn't disturb them too much. Been 5 years since skiing here, will not let that happen again!

Who'd have thought that skiing would be perfect after St. Patrick's Day? I skied the loops south of Hwy OO. There was fresh snow last night, groomed this morning. It was windy, but no serious drifting. I give it a 10.

Birkie Ridge: Wonderful skate skiing on both the field and topside loops. Classic track looked excellent as well.

Skied from OO to Mosquito Brook and back. Conditions were fantastic! Freshly groomed with a beautiful skate deck and a nice deep firm classic track. Must be what it feels like to be leading the Birkie on fresh corduroy with no one around.
