I was out at sunrise today and found fairly good conditions though I didn't venture into the woods. There are a few areas of bare ground where you'll need to walk and debris that are easily avoided. Thanks Jerry for the great grooming to allow continued skiing despite the warm daytime temperatures.

Base in fields holding up well. Able to hit transition from icy fast to softer snow around 10AM. Control was good later in the morning. Nice circuit from lot to base of woods, did not ski woods. Appreciate all the grooming efforts - great to be out.

The skate deck has been re-groomed, classic tracks (icy) left intact.   The East and West Loop in the woods, Corkscrew, and Tip Over have all been groomed.

When I arrived around 10 AM the field trails and the first wooded trail were very fast and pretty icy. But Jerry arrived, took the Tidd Tech around the upper field trails, and the skiing was excellent. By noon the sun and warm temps had transformed the snow that hadn't been groomed, and it was also very skiable but getting softer and slower. There is plenty of snow and it should be good Tuesday morning. Good skis are fine; there are some dirty spots but no rocks. That could be different in the West Wood, which I didn't ski.

Out again at 9:30 following grooming efforts by Jerry Gensch - base was firm with just enough "shaved ice" to provide some fun fast skiing. Coverage in the fields remains decent. Debris in woods more pronounced but still skiable - for now. Transient hoar frost on trees a bonus this morning.

Out around 1PM - skate deck generally soft but surprisingly fast. Coverage was decent with sporadic debris showing through. Most of the fields were in good shape, did not ski the woods. Appreciate grooming efforts today and great to be out at CLCF!

Trails are now closed. It's best to stay off the trails with the soft conditions and deep snow as deep ski grooves can be very difficult to groom out once the temperatures drop and the trails firm up.

The skate deck was re-groomed this morning and looks to be in very good condition. The classic tracks are glazed over.

Skated CLCF Nordic at 3:00 this afternoon. 17 degrees, snow felt relatively fast. Well traveled areas were good. Some of the wooded uphills were soft and maybe a bit narrow, kept getting ski tips stuck in the fluffy snow on the edges. A fair amount of debris, I flicked a lot of sticks, but it wasn't bad, could maneuver fine. More snow would be great. Awesome job by Jerry and other volunteers, it's beautiful out there!

After a ton of work this past week, the CLCF (Fox Hill) trails are almost all groomed and in great shape. West Loops are skate only. The Upper Fields, Lower Fields, Truck Lane, etc are all tracked for classic. Bring your good skis. Be sure to thank all the volunteers for an outstanding effort.
