Hard, thin base set up last week with decent skating on rock skis. Good to see them out rolling and dragging with the lighter Track Truck this morning. After this snowfall gets groomed and sets up in the cold the trails should be fantastic at 9 Mile! Many thanks to the groomers for the great work they are doing out on the trails today!

Skied 9 Mile at noon today. Rock solid skating base, firm and flat with very minimal debris. Great grooming of dry powder snow. Classic track rock solid with 90% white and very good. Spots along in the tracks of debris and dirt. Excellent early ski conditions.

Conditions: Fair for skate, no tracks at this time. 10 K trail open for skate only. All other trails remain closed. Received 5 inches of powder snow Sunday. Trails were packed and groomed for comb. Trail base is thin ... early season conditions. Attempted to set track but not enough snow. Skate skiing only at this time.

Trails were groomed today with Piston Bully and wide drag. Deep tracks set. Numerous areas of gravel pulled up into skate lanes and classic track gouged down to red granite base at regular intervals. Use rock skis or worse and be prepared for abrupt stops. Very disappointing after similar problems occurred last year. Would not recommend skiing at Nine Mile until grooming issues resolved or large dump of snow minimizes risk of similar problems.

Trails have been packed and groomed. Nine Mile will open tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Trail S will remain closed until future notice.
