Really nice conditions again. They just regroomed either last night or early this morning and everything is in really good shape with adequate coverage for the tracks I skied - Classic skied south, west spur and part of north. With the cold, things were firm and the texture of the snow was definitely different from previous weeks.

The little bit of snow we got this morning and a regroom made for very good conditions. Only skied out of the parking lot to the end of the ridge trail and back (about 5 miles), but looking out all the spurs and the north loop and everything looks great. Bangor has been on top of their grooming this year and trails have been maintained really well!

Thank you for grooming Kevin Schilling. The conditions are better than good, they are excellent! About 1 inch new powder snow last night.

Groomed the skate deck and set classical tracks. There are a couple of thin spots under the conifers on the south loop, otherwise the conditions are good.

There is no experiment at the Experimental Forest... Conditions on Saturday were wonderful. I can't believe how good the conditions were for such a small snowfall.
I was the second skate skier on the deck (which was firming up while I was out there). Between the fresh snow in the trees combined with the new hoar-frost made for pristine conditions. Kudos to the groomers and the people who have done all the trail work.

With the limited snow that fell these trails were groomed impeccably. Huge corduroy deck and great tracks. A bit soft but whatever. On the one way classic there is a few thin spots under the pines, to be expected. The only reason for B skis in my opinion. Pristine gorgeous forest and topography for long aerobic laps. What a treat.

Skied almost all the trails (North, South, and all the spurs/outlooks). Most classic trails were freshly groomed today and tracks were still soft. Some areas were thin or had turned up debris but a good portion of the classic track will be good once firm. As for skate deck, everything was rolled and groomer was just laying corduroy on the wider trails.

Groomed the skate deck this morning. Did not groom the classic tracks. FYI, a logging job is scheduled to start on the property next week which will effectively shut down skiing for several weeks so this weekend may be the last skiing here for a while.

Groomed the skate trails. There was a little powder over the hard base so things are fairly clean now. Didn't set classic track. The classic tracks were relatively intact, and skiers are skiing the powder in.

Groomed the skate trails this morning. It's ok, but not great. There are a few thin spots, but overall there's still good coverage. The main issue is there are a lot of pine needles and oak leaves down. I did not set classic track.
