All trails have been dragged and tracked except for the One Mile Loop which will not be groomed for the rest of the year. Many of the west side trails were tracked yesterday so they will have the few inches of snow from last night on them. Once skied in they should be fine. Grooming plans: We plan to run over the trails again with the drag and tracking sled sometime in the next couple of days. Hopefully we will be able to use our groomed sometime soon after that. So, the trails are definitely skiable and after another pass should be in great shape. Many thanks to Bob Cascarano for joining me with his tracked ATV which was used to pull the drag on the first pass.

We were able to drag and set a track on most of the West Side Trails this afternoon. Don't expect great conditions but all but one of the West Side trails should be very skiable and the one segment not worked on has skied in tracks.

With our limited equipment we have not been able to make much progress opening trails after the latest big snows. We will continue to work on it and hope to have at least some of the trails open by the weekend.

Groomed all trails this morning. Nice deep well formed tracks. It may be a bit soft yet after all the snow and there is some tree litter in places. Overall conditions look very good. It is beautiful with all the snow on the trees.

Groomed late this afternoon. With our recent snow the tracks and conditions look as good as they can be. With tonight's low temperatures the tracks should be hard and should last for a long while if we do not get snow.

Trails were groomed late today using our regular groomer. The tracks were a bit soft this morning so our regular groomer will pack the tracks and polling area better. With the cold temps tonight the trail should be in great shape. I would be surprised if conditions were any less than excellent tomorrow.

Finally we have enough snow. Dragged, leveled, and tracked all trails. Tracks are deep and well formed. Conditions should be very good or better.

Groomed this morning after our big snow storm of a couple of inches followed by rain. The little bit of additional snow allowed using our regular groomer. It looks like conditions will be good or better with much of the trail very good or better. There were some pine needles visible in the bottom of the track but the flurries this morning have probably covered that up. Tracks are full depth almost everywhere. There is a hundred yard stretch of trail leading to the "big hill" that is rough. I did track it and with a little snow it should be OK. That is the reason I suggest B skis.

I skied most of the trail today and found conditions to be better than I expected. The trail is flat and smooth so downhills are in good condition to snow plow if required. The tracks are shallow on a good portion of the trail but have hardened up so they are not so bad. Somehow the 1/4" of snow we got covered up the bare spots so not there only a few thin spots where grass is visible. The snow also covered up the pine needles that came down in the warm weather that we had. There are still some leaves on the trail but the snow has taken them out of the picture, especially if you use waxless skis. Any more snow, even small amounts will just make things better. There is no reason not to get out and ski unless you only like deep tracks, then you probably will be disappointed.

This trail system is in remarkably decent condition considering the recent warm up. The east side has lots of debris under the pines and tracks are shallow but skiable. Almost all of the track on the west side is in good condition.
