Groomed the trails this morning but did not set a new track. Ran the groomer knives just below the existing track to refresh the surface. There is one 400-500 ft section lacking snow, east of the bench about a mile out; that area gets a lot of sun. I lifted the groomer onto its wheels and passed through that stretch. Recent winds left quite a few branches and a couple of downed trees on the trail-I cleared those. The rest of the trails have good coverage with a 6-10" base and are skiable.

Groomed Hiram today and set a fresh classic track. Warm weather has reduced the base by a few inches, and the surface had an icy layer underneath, about 5" of new powder. All in all, the trail is in good shape for skiing.

The tracks were a bit fast, icy, and leafy, but there were tracks throughout and it was a worthwhile ski on natural snow. I counted only three small bare spots all easily avoidable. Get out and be about it, striders, while there's still some to get.

Trails have good base. Set tracks are very slick with not much traction even with my fish scale skis. Maybe mole skin attachments would help but didn't bring them.

The Hiram Trail was groomed and a fresh track was set this morning. There's a solid base of 12-18 inches, which allowed for a crisp, well-defined track. You could feel the snow conditions changing while grooming, but the trail set up nicely overall. We hope you get a chance to ski the Hiram Trail this weekend! By the way, the trail had a few inspectors stopping by while I was grooming (photo). I'm pretty sure they gave it two ears up.

Skied 3.5 miles of trail. Great base and the fresh snow made it very enjoyable. Trail is in great condition.

Good conditions overall, with clear well-set tracks, so thank you to the groomer for a job well done. This trail is a gem. Quiet, scenic, and hilly throughout with multiple loop options.

The Hiram trail was groomed and a new track was set today. Conditions are currently fair to good. The current snow has been used a lot and is starting to show it wear. Ski and enjoy it while it lasts!

Groomed and set a fresh track at Hiram today. Ran with the groomer knives all the way down, which seemed to work pretty well. The trail is holding up nicely; conditions are in good shape.

I groomed and set track today. The snow we received over the weekend really helped, and the base is holding up very well. I've updated the ski rating to Good, as there are no rocks or dirt showing through. Enjoy the trails!
