Conditions: A few thin spots but not too bad.
Skied after dark Tuesday. About 1.5 k of trail open now (a little more than last week). Trail was sugary with a little dirt showing through in two or three places. Was glad I used my B skis and glad most of the snow seems to have survived.

Conditions: Groomed and tracked overnight. Good skiing.
I expected the trail to be trashed after the combination of a big high school race Saturday, warm temps and rain turning to sloppy snow on the drive. Surprise. The trail was groomed to a nice corduroy overnight. The classic track was deep and well cut. Waxing for skate mostly irrelevant, wet structure best bet. Toko orange klister would have been okay with a strong skier on board. I would have liked a bit of silver mixed in. The tracks were slow and a bit abrasive. Good job TW.

Conditions: 1.25 km open as of 3:00 today. Fast and soft up hills. Deep base though and good edging and one classic track throughout.
Park at the par 3 lot. Course not open by the tubing hill. No snow guns going but saw them moving some snow around with a PistenBully for part of the time when I was there. Looks like they could open up a little extension after they smooth it out some more.

Lots of people out at Wirth tonight enjoying the newly-expanded 1.3K loop. Par 3 parking lot was full! The uphills were very sugary, but otherwise the loop is in good shape.

Conditions: OK on 1 km snowmaking loop near lower stadium.
1 km snowmaking loop has been groomed. Snow is sugary on the climbs and corners. There is some dirty snow but no major debris.

Conditions: 1k loop packed hard with a thin layer of natural snow. 1 big sugary uphill, a few patches of ice and grass. A lot better than nothing!
It was good to be able to get out and ski. The Loppet Fast Kids seemed to be enjoying it a lot!

Natural snow ski trails: Due to the weather over the last few days we have lost all of our natural snow pack. All trails including the golf courses are closed until adequate snow has fallen to groom and maintain them.
Snow making loop: We currently have just over 1 kilometer of the manmade ski trails available to ski. Due to the warm weather we have lost a small portion of this snow but are mostly in good shape. We will have to add some snow back into a few small sections of what is currently open due to thin snow conditions. This will set us back a few days but we will continue making snow as long as the weather stays cold. The next week looks to be moderate for making snow with lows in the 20’s and high teens to highs in the mid 20’s to low 30’s.

Conditions: Freshly groomed classic and skate!
The man made loop was groomed this morning and conditions will most likely be soft with the forecasted temps today. We will not be grooming Sunday morning with overnight temps in the mid 40's and drizzle forecasted. We want to preserve the snow pack as much as possible for later in the season. Conditions may be icy on Sunday. We will reevaluate for Monday. Thanks!

Conditions: Good conditions where snowed in!
We are continuing to make snow at Wirth while conditions are favorable. We obviously have a very warm weather stretch coming in which we won't be able to make snow. We are planning on opening another small section of trail sometime tomorrow morning, this should give us just over 1K of manmade trail open. We will continue to open more areas as they are snowed in. Thanks for your patience!

Conditions: Good on man-made snon.
I checked out the loop this morning - 900 meters on my GPS watch - I saw park employees working/adjusting the snow guns.
