Skied the red loop a few times (4.5k with some good hills!) and even though the temperature has been above freezing the snow in the woods at the park was pretty decent, a little soft but not icy, with great coverage. A hidden gem!

Neshota knoll got steady snow yesterday afternoon in the forest microclimate! No bare spots, beautiful, and a short drive from home. We didn't see anyone else there. Couldn't get enough of it! Skied classic with no wax skins and a little skating too.

Current conditions are 2 inches of base with no classic tracks set. There are some thin spots and light debris throughout the system. Grooming plans: No grooming will occur this morning due to the warm temperatures. We are hopeful for new snow to add to the base and the trails will survive.

Further work was done to compact and level the skate deck this morning. The base at Neshota is soft and currently about 2 inches thick. There are some thin spots and light debris throughout the system. B skis are recommended. Grooming plans: Trails will be groomed again Monday morning. No Classic tracks will be set until we get more snow.

Trail rolling is complete, and the skate deck has been leveled. Neshota currently has about 2.5-inch base so classic tracks have not been set. Trails are soft with some thin spots in windblown areas and light debris. B skis are recommended. Be sure to purchase your ski pass as rangers will be out checking this weekend. Grooming plans: Trails should be groomed again early Sunday morning.
