On the trail at 7:30AM. We classical skied almost every trail and the tracks were firm and fast and fun. This is one of our favorite trail systems. Thanks for the excellent grooming.

Grooming

All trails were groomed today and we have the best conditions of the season. Sundays 8+ inches of snow have provided us with a nice base. Come out and enjoy the trails while the conditions are very good.

Observation

A warm Sunday (near 50) resulted in a bit of melting on the trails. Trails are skiable still but not in very good condition. We need more quality snow to get the trails back into good condition.

Trails were groomed today. A little warm and the snow was wet so hard to create good conditions and set a nice track. Hopefully they will set up nicely overnight. Overall conditions are fair.

All trails were groomed, however there's not quite enough snow yet to set a track. There is a lot of small debris (leaves, twigs, small sticks) on the trails.
