Conditions remain poor as meaningful snow has gone either south or north of us. Skating is possible on the Alternate Trail with a thin base of snow. You will encounter grass, dirt, rocks, sticks, and leaves. I did the loop twice this morning. Skiers are enjoying ungroomed classic skiing on the other trails. We are skiing the tracks to improve it for the next skier - old fashioned grooming.

We're back - we didn't get a lot of snow, and it's powdery, but we decided to give it a try. The Alternate Trail is packed and skiable. The snow is very thin, so use caution if you go and use rock skis! The other trails are not groomed, but you can ski them if you wish. Poor conditions are better than nothing at this point. The Warming House is open and heated.
