With all the rain, the trail is pretty icy and rutted. We had a grooming part break over the weekend. New part was ordered and we hope to have it late today. Grooming plans: We hope to groom tomorrow and try to get the trail back up and running.

Entire trail is groomed and set with new tracks. Classic tracks sure set better in snow than ice. The fluffy snow is still plenty soft so personally I think classic skiing might be better than skate for awhile.

Rolled the trail twice today and combed it once. Not surprisingly, it's very soft but a lot more skiable than the ice we were dealing with before this gift of snow.
Grooming plans: Hopefully got enough air out of this fluffy snow that I can groom and set tracks tomorrow.

We have some bare ground and hard ice - our grooming equipment just can't break up the ice.... Trails are closed until we get more snow...

Closing the trails for the time being. We will evaluate the trails once the rain stops and temp go back below freezing.

Trail groomed as well as hard conditions will allow. Classic track was reset - pretty shallow tracks with hard snow. Skate deck groomed up a little better.

Trail was groomed yesterday and today. Classic tracks set yesterday and only skate lane groomed this morning. Should ski really well today!

Skate lane was groomed today - classic tracks still firm and in good shape. Should be great skiing this weekend!

The trail was groomed yesterday and was in good condition, especially the skate deck. The classic tracks were reset and were in very good condition. Many of the tight turns were washed out. The woodsy hills were also in good condition, without too much in the way of debris or leaves. Nice place to ski!

Trail is freshly groomed with new classic tracks set. Get out there and enjoy the sunshine and invigorating temps.
