An excellent job was done in grooming the minimal new snow into something at least somewhat skiable as mentioned in the earlier grooming report. The problem is all of the sticks and branches that came down with the high winds of the last storm. They are everywhere in great numbers, except in the more open trail areas with less overhead tree coverage.

The warm weather and rain were hard on the system. We lost a lot of base on the south and western exposed trails. I regroomed the 2 inches of fresh powder but some spots didn't cover completely. All the trails have a skating lane and the east part have a set of classic tracks. I would use your rock or B skis. We need more fresh snow to cover all the signs of rain and sun! Enjoy.

Hard skate deck, icy/glazed in places. Judging by the skate tracks made yesterday it might have been a bit softer than today. Since we didn't ski much of the trail system I can't say how the conditions described apply to the entire course. Did do a fair amount of double-poling in the classical tracks which were also glazed and fast.

Excellent day to ski! Freshly groomed corduroy with a fast and firm base. The deer had not yet had time to track it all up. I skied the entire trail system and all were in fine condition.

Regroomed all the corduroy on the skating track. Retracked some of the classic track where it was drifted. Everything groomed very nice. The trails look nice. A lot of deer on the trails today and a big flock of turkeys on the west end of whispering pines. Get out and enjoy the snow before it warms up.

Trails remain covered with a couple inches of powder and drifted in places. Some sections fairly rough due to ski traffic and to some extend deer travel. Did some double poling in the classical tracks on occasion and they were reasonably fast. Could use some grooming after the last snowfall.

About 2 inches of new powder over firm skate deck, in places a bit more. Drifted in areas making the trail narrow and/or increasing powder depth. This is especially true for the first 0.5 km from the parking lot to the "saddle" (multi-trail junction). Classic tracks are visible and well formed but partially filled with powder.

The snow is grooming very well this morning. It will be soft for the first skiers. Everything will have a classic track and a skating lane. There are alot of deer on the trail this morning. Enjoy.

If there was a time to train for skating now would be it. Trails are hard but not icy. I regroomed the system after yesterdays school race. The skating track looks good but it was to hard to recut the classic tracks. If it warms up or if we get snow I will be retracking the classic tracks. Congratulations to all the student racers.

The trails were groomed today and are in good shape. There is some drifting in spots due to persistent windy conditions. Some of the drifts were busted up in preparation for a high school race on Tuesday. There is good coverage in most areas and only a few spots windblown down to an icy base. Grooming plans: The trails are scheduled to be groomed again Monday before the race on Tuesday.
