Tuesday, February 16, 2016
Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: I skated the purple loop starting about 2 PM, and conditions were quite good at the beginning. Skating slowed down with snow falling lightly and the temperature rising from about 31 to 35.
Any grooming after Sunday night's snow was no longer obvious to me, but the skate deck was pretty good, and the striding tracks looked just okay. The new snow was getting a little wet by the time I left, and conditions should be faster in the morning with the expected lower temperature overnight and tomorrow.

[ Good skis ]
Conditions: New snow freshly groomed.
Greenbush continues to provide delightful skiing. 2-3 in of fresh snow from Sunday night was groomed and tracked on Monday and made for excellent striding. Skate lane looked a bit soft, but will firm up nicely.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Fair for classic.
Classic skied the Purple loop today. Tracks were almost non-existent between mile 3 and 4, with fair amount of debris on the trails. Have been on my waxless all season. Was nice to be on cold snow.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Superb. Tracks were a little shallow in some spots, but that's nit-picking. The usual debris in the pines, but overall great skiing. Nice to have a hard wax day.
Skiers flew around Greenbush on a cold Saturday. Seemed like qualifying weekend at the Indianapolis 500. Everyone tuning up to go long and fast next weekend.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Very good for skate. Groomed a day ago. Hard base trail center were hard polished v's, edges were corrugated.
Skated 11am to 1pm Greens and Purples 30K. Cold but fast conditions with very little debris. I used race skies. Ski bases showed slight powder from abrasive cold snow but no dings. Hard deck with just enough control for downhills. Uphills had polished center ridge that made climbing easier!

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Fresh groomed 2-3inches of snow over solid base = excellent.
Skied Green Loop in 2-3 inches of fresh snow at 12F. Just a dozen cars in lower lot (not like Saturday!). Started Purple and along came Groomer Terry (Stella riding shotgun) pressing in new tracks and combing skate lane. Perfect! Finished another Green and Purple on fresh corduroy. Fire in the warming hut after. Couldn't ask for more!

Conditions: Very nice skate conditions this morning. Softening up in the sunny areas as the morning went along.
Lots of people enjoying the outdoors at Greenbush; skiers, bikers, snowshoers and hikers. What a terrific outdoor asset!

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: The trails were in good condition with a firm deck and no thin spots.
The parking lot was full when I arrived at 9:30 this morning; I guess everyone wanted to ski Greenbush today. The trails were in good condition with a firm deck and no thin spots. There was a fair amount of tree debris (leaves, small twigs, needles) but nothing too concerning. The tracks looked like they were in good condition.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle Lost/Found 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Excellent. Fresh grooming, great classic track. Fast track.
Skied the purple classic trail at 10:00 AM. I have rated my experience each time I skied over the last 10 years and I finally hit a 10. I've had 8's before but no higher. Fresh trail, new snow, fast snow, snow clad trees, brilliant sun and heavenly blue sky all combined with 22 degrees and minimal wind.
Note: I found a white IPhone in the parking lot. It appears to be in good condition but can't get info from it because of the lock code. Please ask around if someone lost a phone out there.
