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.

Good conditions, groomed several days ago, 2 inches snow in tracts. West part of trail packed with no tracts but powder on top. We had an excellent ski otherwise, perfect weather with enough snow cover. Good workout, skied 7 1/2 K.
