Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Good skis ]
Conditions just short of great. Deep solid tracks, somewhat soft skate deck. Some of the best conditions of the season. Some icy spots, and the skate deck a little uneven in a few places, but there's not a lot of snow to work with. Great to have it.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Novice, Headwall, Cliffs Trail, Pit Run to 3 Sister cut across up Stairway to heaven were tracked and skate lane groomed Monday after 10" of fresh snow. Parking lot is plowed. There were a good amount of skiers out Thursday stating that trails were surprisingly in good shape. Low overnight temps are keeping conditions in check for great spring skiing. This Easter weekend is a perfect time to visit the trails for a fun, energizing ski.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Rock skis ]
Cliffs and Wolverine loops were rolled, with a shallow skied in track. Ground is barely covered, but pretty skiable. All in all, pretty good considering we're at the tail end of a snowless winter. Rock skis for sure. Wide enough to skate, but pretty soft, with rocks lurking just beneath the surface of the snow.

Beautiful afternoon at Wolverine. Skied most trails including Powderhorn loop, Cliffs, Cliffhanger, and novice loop. Skate deck was firm on novice, Cliffs, and Wolverine loop. Skate deck was soft on Cliffhanger and Powderhorn as it was just groomed. It should firm up with cold temps. Classic tracks are really decent throughout the trails but there are occasional dirty snow patches. There are some rocks lurking underneath as base is shallow so would recommend rock skis unless you really know the trails.

All skate lanes groomed except the pond loop. Would not recommend the south side of Wolverine loop. Everything else is good including Cliffhanger.

Groomers at Wolverine were able to put together a pretty good 6k loop this morning. The only area that was touch and go was right after Wolverine trail joins the Novice. About half of the groomed trail had shallow to really good tracks set with any issues easily avoidable.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
We didn't get as much snow as hoped. But the Wolverine and Novice loop are skiable on B skis. Skate lane is OK, some grass showing in spots, and classic tracks were reset where possible. Come out and enjoy the day.

Couple inches of snow improved conditions at Wolverine. Skate deck had been groomed on the Novice and Wolverine loops. Pretty darn fun skiing despite thin cover and rocks that were largely avoidable.

I skis the Wolverine trail, it was very nice with a few thin spots. Mostly the wolverine and novice loops were open. The tracks were mostly shallow didn't look too icy.

Wolverine continues to have great skiing, especially for skating. The skate deck gets regular grooming with spots filled in with extra snow to avoid rocks/dirt. Skated the Wolverine loop in the morning and it was in great shape. Classic skied in the afternoon with warmer temps and tracks were still holding up. The cool nights and regular maintenance have helped preserve the base. Ski while you can!
