After some delays due to a deep snow pack and equipment issues the 3k and the campground loop (1.5k) are groomed for skating and classic skiing. The 10k will be groomed and worked on over the next two days. All trails should be open by Friday. Get out and enjoy!

Classic track is good shape with just a few spots to step around. Track is hard packed, icy, and fast. Klister worked well, but track is very abrasive causing the klister to slough off. Skate lane was groomed and seems in good shape.

The Campground Loop 1.5k and the 3k were groomed on Wednesday night and are in great condition. The 10k skate lane was freshened up to produce a nice skate deck. All trails are groomed for both classic and skating.

Skied at Spirit Mountain during the Nordic Spirit 26K race which included parts of Magney through the connector. Before the race volunteers shoveled snow onto the trails to cover the few brown and especially icy spots. The tracks are getting pretty thin and eroded at this point. Overall little debris on the trails allows skiers to not really have to worry about potential damage to skis but not the best.

All Spirit Mountain ski trails are groomed and tracked. The track setter is fixed! Some dirty spots on the trail which can easily be avoided.

There are some bare spots on the descent trail and around the 10k that are getting bigger in this warm spell we're having. The ruts from the fat bike race yesterday made it tough to ski once it froze up... spent a lot of time concentrating on not turning an ankle or knee, but ended up falling once pretty good on a downhill.
