I skied about 200 yards of Brown today before doing a 180 turn and calling it a day. Yesterday's sleet/ice storm has put a robust icy glaze on the skate deck. I recommend awaiting a groomers report or warmer weather before venturing out.

All trails except Silver and the loops off Purple and Red have been groomed. We set tracks on Red and Green. It's pretty shallow out there but skiable. Get out and enjoy it as the trails are open to hikers. The best skiing opportunity is probably parking in the group camp parking lot and skiing Brown to Red. Pretty good snow cover and track. Also, Red isn't especially popular with hikers. There are patches of hidden ice, so be careful out there.

Stopped at the ranger office. Was told that the trails have not been groomed since the recent snowfall. Signs said that ski trails are open to hikers.

Enjoy it while it lasts! I went to WRSP this afternoon with modest expectations given the lack of snow, emergent ice, and tree debris build up. To my surprise I found freshly groomed trails with a wonderful 1/4"-1/2" coating of soft snow coating atop the hard base. Tree debris was a thousand times better and the track was soft, fast, and wonderful. I skied Purple, Silver, Blue, and Green and all were in great shape... with a few icy spots excepted. Thanks again to the groomers who continue to gift us with fine trails despite the absence of much snow!

The skate lane was groomed on all trails today. Some icy spots have gotten larger but everything is still skatable except I would avoid orange due to larger spots of ice. Classic tracks are icy and have occasional debris. Grooming plans: This is most likely the last grooming until we get more snow.

I continue to be so very appreciative of the groomers who have continued to extend the little snow we have had into what is still, overall, nicely skiable terrain. That being said, the track is getting to be a thin coating of well-packed snow on top of an ice base in most places - and, more ice patches are starting to poke through. I skied, Red, Silver, Purple, Blue, and 'lower Yellow' today. The warmer temperature (34F) made it a bit easier to get a reliable edge for skating than yesterday's below freezing conditions. Be careful on the hills as sloughing speed is getting to be more difficult.

I found most of the trails on Saturday to be in great shape. Red, Brown, Purple, Green (Campground) and Blue back from the Falls were all had great classic tracks set.. The one trail I would not recommend is Silver. The big hill is all Ice and I only made it about 3/4's of the way up before I had to take off my skis and walk up the rest of the hill. Other hills are manageable, but icy and there were a few bare spots as I got closer to the Falls.

The skate deck was groomed on all the trails today. The icy spots on the orange, yellow, and green are better now after the last snow. The classic tracks are still holding up with red, yellow, and silver, with the best tracks.

What a great job the groomers have done with the little snow we've had! I skied Red trail (outer loop), took Brown down to Purple then took Green to yellow back to Red. Every trail was in great shape. There was an area on purple, in the woods, that the classic tracks were shallow and ice, but jumped out to skate deck to get around it.

Received enough new snow to groom the deck last night and set new tracks this morning. The conditions are amazingly good on all trails except orange. The tracks are on the shallow side in some places but well-formed. There are very few glaze ice spots showing thru.
