Night
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Trails are in excellent condition. Small areas of the tracks are suffering from too much sun, but are generally firm and fast. The skate lanes were all dragged and are rock solid. Grooming completed at 11:30 pm on Saturday night. Skiers please note that the spring grooming cycle is here, which means that grooming may be delayed or take place in the evening when the snow is more workable.

The system was tilled and tracked, but the trails are starting to show a little wear and tear from lack of snow. Skate lanes are hard and fast; classic tracks are generally good but warm conditions will lead to some softening. Grooming completed at 2:30 am.

Grooming

All trails were dragged today, and skiers will find the trails fast and fun, following several days warm/cold cycles. Best skiing will be in the morning before the sun's rays warm the snow pack, and late in the day as the snow starts to cool again. Trails will be tilled and tracked on Sunday morning. Grooming completed at 10:30 am.
