Trails are still in great condition, considering the warmth and snow drought. Nice corduroy and fast skating. Some debris and a few spots where the dirt came through. But nevertheless, worth the trip.

Fantastic day of skiing today. First time here, already hoping to make it a yearly trip! The trails are beautiful and the grooming was wonderful. The black trail Relentless was churned up a bit (due to some grooming challenges mentioned earlier), so I wouldn't use good skis on that one - but the others were pristine. There were some snow bombs as the warmer temperatures melted the snow snakes off the tree limbs. Hat's off to the groomers, the people in charge of signage, and the kind volunteers in the chalet.

All trails have been dragged including Relentless and MUT loops. Track is in good shape and conditions are good.

Best skiing of the season today with warmer temperatures and another day of good grooming after the heavy snow (finally!j of the past week. Firm track, after being set for the first time on Friday, with occasional snow bombs and tree debris causing only minor challenges. Only trail not yet open is Relentless (part of the former Powderhouse loop, with some additional hill challenges), and groomers started working on that today. Thankful for the hard work of the grooming crew in challenging conditions.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomers rolled again this morning and we are having a lot of difficulty getting a base to form because of the extremely light and dry conditions. We should be able to gain some ground once temperatures start to get warmer toward the end of the week into next week. Not able to set track because of this current condition.

Rolled everything again this morning and with the amount of snow we keep getting that is all we can do for now. Grooming plans: We will be back out again in the morning.
