Groomed and set track at Hiram ski trail this afternoon after getting around 6" of new snow. Recommend using rock skis since there are numerous areas where the track setter was getting into the grass, leaves and dirt. The groomer was wanting to slip sideways at times so the track has some kinks in it. The parking lot has not been plowed yet.

Gave Hiram ski trail it's first grooming of the season today. Had just enough snow from the storm yesterday to pack it this morning but not enough base to set a track. Track setter was getting into the leaves and grass when I tried it so I stopped. Will have to wait for more snow before setting a track. There is a lot of stubble and weeds sticking through the snow plus the occasional rock so use your rock skis. Rough conditions right now but it's very skiable if you don't mind skiing without a track.
