Groomed this morning after the 2 or 3 inches of fluffy new snow yesterday. Just a few scattered Oak leaves otherwise the track is pretty clean. Not enough new snow to set a really good deep track but still very good skiing. It was a little slow this afternoon with the cold temps and fresh snow blowing into the track in places. Get out and enjoy the skiing before the next melt comes along.

Beautiful afternoon for skiing at Hiram with the snow falling, very quiet and peaceful. Around 2 or 3 inches of new snow today so all the leaves, grass, twigs, bark and dirt were covered up. Conditions are getting better with the little 2 or 3 inch snow falls adding up.

I groomed and set track on the entire trail system this afternoon. We only had around 2 or 3 inches of new snow to work with so there are still areas with leaves, needles, bark and twigs sticking thru the snow. The track is not as good as I would like it but it is still worth getting out for a ski.

Skied both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Trail was groomed and tracked Saturday morning and is holding up well. Base is thin so there are areas where grass and leaves and sticking up thru the snow but not enough to slow you down. The track is firm and deep on most of the trail, just a few areas it gets a little shallow. Some damage from the deer walking on the trail but not bad. Beautiful quiet sunny days for skiing. Will be heading out for another ski this afternoon.

Packed and set track on all of Hiram Ski Trail this morning. Base is very thin but turned out ok. Probably don't want to use your best skis yet. Need more snow to get a better track set but still worth going out for a ski if you don't mind the subzero temps.
