Conditions have deteriorated to the point where it is no longer a safe ski surface at Nine Mile. We would like to thank everyone for a great season!

While the base is decent in some areas, many areas of the system are closed. A good portion of the 10K and Y are in fair condition and were groomed for skate skiing this morning. The chalet will be open in Tuesday morning, closed on Wednesday and Thursday, and to-be-determined for Friday and the weekend. The limited trail segments are open and available for use. If the chalet is not open, there is a self-serve pay station adjacent the parking lot with envelopes and a pay receptacle for fee deposit.

Wonderful spring skiing conditions. Groomers are doing excellent work. Skied in the very late afternoon and into the night hours and enjoyed trails that all had been freshly groomed. Great snow base and conditions were firm except in the pine wooded areas. Top shelf grooming!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
All trails were groomed with the PB Thursday with the exception of the Alps. Trails are what would be expected with the cooler overnight and higher daytime temperatures. Fortunately there is a decent base remaining to work with, so conditions are fair to good on most of the system. Be cautious of wet areas. Lastly, the chalet will be open limited hours based on user numbers.

We still have a base of 6-10 inches. Granular surface was regroomed on Leo's, lit loop, 6 k and 10k loops today. Track was reset on John Howard trail and Y so classic loops are possible.

Excellent! Arrived right after the Chalet opened and trail system had been freshly groomed. Skate deck firm and flat throughout. Was glad to discover the Alps section with a light fresh snow was untouched. Really reduces the stress and risk of falling. Slows things down just right, something special.

Great skiing on trails that are in good shape though quite a bit of debris in the classic tracks. With the warmer temps there were some icy spots on the 20k trail but overall terrific conditions; I got 15 miles in and enjoyed every minute of it. Base is over a foot! Skate lane corduroy looked good, too. Lots of skiers out today!

Skied the whole system on Sunday. Received 6" fresh snow earlier in weekend. Pistenbully grooming, excellent conditions -- skating = A, striding = A, overall = A. Bonus: firepits spread out in the woods. Just perfect conditions on a cold March day.

Sun is shining, lot is plowed, and all trails are groomed and tracked. We have six inches of fresh snow and reports are moderate speed on the tracks.

All trails are groomed this morning with the exception of the Alps (to be groomed tomorrow). Fresh tracks are set on groomed trails. Overall conditions are very good but scattered areas have debris on trails from the high winds.
