Combed the skate lane. Because the track seems to be holding up well, I opted not to set a new one. Will reset at next grooming.

Groomed and tracked all loops. Everything is firming up nicely. Its a beautiful sunny day. Nice temp. Go ski.

Many thanks to Jeff Love, who groomed and tracked the trails this morning. The track was solid and the skiing fun. Great to be back outside!

Groomer was just setting track after the new snowfall - was a bit soft but should firm up nice. Perfectly groomed, as always.

Rolled the trail this morning. Let it set up a bit then pulled the groomer around this afternoon. All of the trail is groomed and tracked.

Freshened up the skate deck. Should be great conditions with warmer temps for the next couple of days.

Morning ski. Classic tracks had great shape but were slow with light dusting of snow. Punched through with poles along track but also on skate both of which were crusted over with the recent storm. Trail was littered with leaves, sticks and pine needles. Walkers had punched through skate deck with footprints which is always disheartening. Avoid until groomed.

All segments of the trail are groomed and tracked this afternoon. The icy crust is gone. Some debris on the trail from the trees.

Combed skate lane and set new track around entire trail. Believe it or not there are still a few spots with thin snow cover, three sections with large pines that don't allow the snow to reach the trail. So a small amount of debris gets pulled up by the groomer. All that said, the trail is in great condition.
