Groomed and tracked all segments for touring. Hope the wind doesn't drift it back in. Had some trouble getting a nice track with only about an inch and a half of new snow.

Beginner and intermediate trails were freshly groomed and were in some of the best conditions of the year yet! Big Sky Country wasn't freshly groomed, but fresh powder made the downhills quite enjoyable. Thanks groomers!

Got 1" of snow so groomed all but big hill segment but I did ski that so trail is broke. Really didn't need it but freshened up anyway due to alot of debris.

Trails were surprisingly in good shape. Tracks were fast, a few bare spots on the north end of big hill country since no cover because of all the logging. Some pine tree trash in trail but is a fun ski. Need more snow to be able to groom right now. Tracks are as good as can be expected with the weather the way it is.

Cut lake is groomed thin in a few spots but overall in great shape for the weekend. More snow would make the trails even better. Time to go skiing.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Both 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Skied 8 miles out of ten and flicked all the sticks off the trail. Six miles are tracked and four is ok for skate ski. I was going to track it but the melt and then refreeze made it hard as cement. It was pretty icy, but we got a dusting of snow which helped slow it down a little. The only real negative is there's a lot of pine needles down.

Grooming

Half the trails are tracked and half are skate ski. I tried tracking but with the melt and freeze the trail is hard as concrete. Also lots of leaves and sticks down from strong winds. Hope to get all the sticks off this weekend and just hope for more snow.

Finally some early snow. Had about a foot so track turned out well. Did not finish all the trail, tracked 6 out of ten miles so you can still do a loop or two. Grooming plans: Had trouble on big hill country trail and got stuck and frustrated so I will regroup and finish soon.
