Done by 8AM and temperature was already 29F. Fresh dusting/quarter inch of snow over shallow tracks throughout. Wax would have taken too long to figure out, so I used fish scale skis, had a very good ski. Not icy yet.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All the Bagley trails were groomed late last night and are looking great to be skied on this weekend! The Rock Pond loop is groomed with two lanes of classic tracks which look great, along with the tracks on the main loops. It should be firm and a good glide out there folks! Get out and enjoy the weather!

All trails groomed this morning, including the skate loop on Rock Pond. Classic tracks are getting a little thin in some places and mostly clean except for some twigs popping up here and there.

A fairly nice track in hard packed snow. It is shallow in some spots; however, very nice in others. Potentially great glide!

Rock-hard fast tracks with no washed out areas. Nice and grippy as well. Top portion of long downhill is not tracked, which makes it safer and far easier to navigate. Even though we got a fair amount of fresh snow prior the grooming job, some of the icy snow is part of the overall composition. Therefore, snow is a bit aggressive on the wax. If you will be out there more than two loops and use waxable skis, you may want to carry some extra wax.

Solid and consistent track! Classic only as usual. Should have some nice glide! I saw a big snowy owl in the middle of the trail this morning, she was munching on a vole. Maybe take a ski at dusk and be on the watch!

Bagley was in great condition Friday. The tracks were set in the morning and had only been skied on a couple times by evening (when I got on them). There were no bare spots and the tracks were immaculately cut. The practice loop itself wasn't groomed yet, but there are 1.7 miles total in good shape.

It's looking good out there today folks! Both loops groomed this morning have solid classic track laid, with thin spots popping up in a couple places. The tracks should be set up nicely with the low temps, so get out and enjoy them!

All the trails are open and tracked for classical. Some of the tracks are non-existent/flattened in a couple spots, but is still skiable and fun. The downhills are a little icy but is manageable.

12F and full sun. Gorgeous classic tracks. I had forgotten what a great little trail system this is.
