Trails east of the main parking lot are tracked and skiing well this morning. Coverage is generally good, with only minor wind-blown pine debris in spots (Loop 1-6). There is one bare area between Trail 2 and Trail 5 where an adjacent landowner plowed across the ski trail just beyond the woods road intersection. Use caution - it's located at the bottom of a downhill section. Otherwise, conditions were fast today. Beautiful day to be out.

With the couple more inches of snow we got, its improving the trail greatly. all trails are groomed except the black diamond segments.

All trails are groomed except the black diamond segments, and in good shape. Stay warm and have fun out there!

Trail received 3-4 inches of fresh snow. Groomed and set a track on approximately 75% of the trail. This includes all the southeastern loops from junction 1 to 7 and 8 and most of the northwestern loops (except 25 to 28, 21 to 28, 10 to 17, 19 to 20, and 18 to 23). Ran out of daylight for those but hope to finish later next week. Base and track should set up well in cold temps. Enjoy!

Set track on a majority of the trail. Still rock ski conditions in the Northern segments, but overall pretty good. We need more snow to make a better track. Have fun out there!

No classic tracks have been set. 1-2 inches of snow on top of groomed trail. Fun for backcountry skis or snowshoeing. Not ready for good classic skis.

Trails east of the parking lot and south of FR256 have all been packed and some loops in the North central portion have been packed, about 13 miles of trail or 75% of the whole trail system. Still pretty rocky in some areas so use old skis if you can. Hopefully we'll get more snow soon so we can set a track down.
