Despite a thin amount of snow, Steven has done a great job of grooming. No tracks, due to thin coverage.

Good for skating, good to fair for classic. Two to three new inches of snow Thursday is groomed on skate decks of the Ridge and West trails. Not enough snow to set tracks on classic trails but there are skier set tracks.

No go. Lots of bare ground in the open, snow in the woods is 3", very soft and wet with bare spots.

All trails are groomed. Wide skate deck on Ridge and West trails. Tracks for classic style skiers throughout the trail system. Classic skiers only on South loop, North Loop, Pine and Oak trails. Mid-winter conditions. A few stubborn dirt spots.

South and North Loops groomed with the deep track setter, also the Ridge Trail. Pine and Oak trails are groomed. Best conditions of the year. Sorry, no skating deck yet.

Eight inches of dry snow in our region. Due to intense cold, we will plan to groom again on Thursday.

Three inches of fresh snow, overall conditions are very good. Groomed the Ridge and West trails with wide cord for skaters and enough snow to set nice parallel tracks. North and South Loops have good skier set tracks. The Pine trail now has tracks. Still a few dirt spots here and there.

Two inches of fresh snow on top of old base. The Ridge and West trails were skateable but slow in the fresh powder. Nothing groomed since last night's dusting of snow but still worth skiing. Nobody on the trails when I arrived. There were a few traditional skiers just starting when I left around noon.

Mostly good, but variable conditions at Coulee with 4 to 6 inches of new snow. An icy base has survived on about 80% of the system. Skating is good on the Ridge trail and West trail, but expect dirt spots. Some re-routing on the upper West trail. The South and North Loops were groomed to repair damage from sun, rain and footprints, attempts to set tracks were abandoned with snow thin in spots, and under pines.

Coulee received about 3 inches new snow from yesterday's storm. Today the Ridge trail and the West trail were groomed for skating, I also groomed the Oak trail, which had damage from horses, and it is groomed for skating. The skate trails should harden well tonight. There was not enough snow to set tracks. The South and North Loops were left as is, skiers reported them as good to fair. There is dirt, sticks and rocks to avoid. The boilerplate base is still intact for 99% of the trail system.
