Trail base is in great condition and was a beautiful sunny day to ski! The few inches of fresh snow haven't been groomed yet, which made it difficult with all the powder, at some points I couldn't see my skis. Can't wait to get back out after some grooming!

Skied almost all the trail system. Crusty snow on 90% of the skate deck when I started at 10:30. At 11:15 and on it was soft. Not bad for ruts but that may change if there is afternoon traffic. Some occasional debris on trail like bark, sticks and scat but good base overall. Nice and sunny.

Trails looked groomed since last weekend. Beautiful day to ski in the sun. There's still a nice base of snow, went in the afternoon snow very soft and slow. With the melting snow there are more sticks, acorns, leaves to dodge but still nice conditions to ski. Hope the base makes it and that the grooming continues for those getting last minute skis in for the Birkie.

The trails were freshly groomed, the snow was cold and slow today. With all the wind there are lots of branches down in the trails; and the skate deck has groomer treadmarks down the middle. Tim's trail skate deck is in the best condition.

Very enjoyable conditions. 1/4" snow, 20 degrees and high humidity made kick easy. It appears that everything had been recently groomed (before the light snow overnight). Fat bikers and snowshoers were out enjoying this trail system today as well.

Beautiful conditions today after a fresh groom! Herringbone hill no longer has boot or paw prints. Lollipop and Judith's loop are groomed so well, it's fast and beautiful. Thanks to all the groomers who take care of the trails, makes the drive worthwhile.

Judith's loop is in great condition. Other trail skate decks have some debris and could use a fresh groom. Be careful on the herringbone hill trail. I saw a guy walking down the middle of the trail with his two dogs off leash and they left a bunch of big divots.

The trails were groomed this morning and I was the first skier on them. Beautiful groom but the cold, dry snow was pretty slow. Plenty of kick but not much glide. The variety of terrain here makes for a great workout.

Trails have great coverage. They have not been groomed since Saturday, so there is at least an inch of snow on the ground. Had to ski in the classic tracks. It was slow going with both the amount of ungroomed snow, plus the cold temperatures.

Love the terrain on this system! Throw in a sunny 7 degree day along with the 18-24 inches of snow that was observed in the adjacent woods and you have a recipe for a great outing. The course had received 1-2" inches of snow since its' last grooming, and stretches of the machine made tracks were wind blown. Worth the effort. Carpe Skiem!
