Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Good conditions to very good. The trail has been completely groomed and tracked after the snow/rain event of early this week. The temps dropped sufficiently enough to groom the wet snow that was on the trail. We received about 3" of snow but with the rain mixed in there was an ice layer to try to bust up and lay down. With that the trail is in good condition with a few areas of grass still showing, and some puddles have come up through the grooming, so be careful as these freeze. Keep leaving sacrifices to Heinke Lunta to bring more snow. See you on the Trail.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
The trails have all been dragged but they need more snow to level the trail and set a track. I was able to skate the trail system, but it was very uneven. There were also a number of areas where the sun had melted much of the snow they had. If you have no other options, try this trail. Otherwise, I would wait for more snow.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Entire trail system was packed and combed Thursday night; not enough snow currently to set a decent track. Ski experience is "early season skiing conditions" with bumpy sections however entire system is completely snow covered.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
With the limited snow in our area we have been able to roll all the trails and get the swamps to freeze up good. Thursday night we combed the surface and were able to get a skiable surface but there is not enough snow to get a totally level surface and no track was set. We have extended our classical trail by 1/2 mile with some good hills. People have been classic skiing but don't expect a great deck to skate on. Hope for more snow.
