Shockingly good conditions after last weeks thaw and ice over. Skate deck was in fair to good shape with only some bare patches. Classic tracks existed, which is more than could be said last week. I thought the season was over on Thursday, but new snow has resurrected it from the dead!

I saw the groomer out mid-day Wednesday. He said conditions in the upper golf course and woods were not bad. Lower golf course looked skiable, but not great. All the groomers are gone for the Birkie so probably no more grooming until early next week.

Groomed the skate deck today. Skating was very good this afternoon / evening. Only a few dirty spots that are easily avoided. Too little snow to reset the classic tracks. Classic conditions are fair unless you ski on the skate deck. No bare spots.

Groomed today, skate deck was scratched up. Skate is very good. Classic is good. We were not able to reset classic tracks.

The skate portion of all trails were regroomed today. Tried to reset classic tracks but that was not successful. The existing classic tracks are in fair to good condition. Skate conditions are very good.

All trails groomed today. Skate deck in excellent condition and tracks are excellent. We are getting drifting which may fill in tracks on the golf course. Best conditions of the year.

Trails groomed Thursday. Skate deck was scratched up and should ski well. Not many bare spots. Did not reset the classic tracks - they are very icy. Grooming plans: If we get snow we will regroom and hopefully be able to reset classic tracks.

About 3" of wonderful snow made for Great skiing today! Skate deck in great shape and most of classic tracks are good, too. Only place classic tracks looked thin/bare was down by RR tracks. Kudos and thanks to our awesome volunteer groomers. As always, walkers/hikers keep walking right down the middle of the trails. Argh!

This was my first time skiing here and first time skiing in two years! Great trail to get started on again. I went on the Bicentennual trail. The most fun part is the hill going down to the railroad tracks! Skate deck in good shape and good shape for classic tracks too. Minimal amount of leaves and twigs.

Great conditions this morning with the fresh snow. Groomers were out yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Tracks were also set for classic. I still recommend B skis because I know the base is thin but good conditions.
