Skied everything except the black loop and took the shortcut at G. No bare spots but there are a few small icy sections. The snow is somewhere between icy and slushy, not bad for spring skiing. Folks have walked in the tracks the entire trail. I took a tumble on the last hill on the skate loop when I hit a particularly deep rut from a footprint.

Skied everything except the black loop. Not groomed and the concrete barriers are up at the trailhead which usually indicates we won't see any more grooming from the city this season. There is a lovely skied in track that is washed out here and there but is surprisingly fast with the icy deck under the new snow. Barely any debris, picked up a couple sticks. I was on my good skis and it seemed like the right call, not much to worry about with how much new snow we have.

I skied out to the Outlook. A bit of soft ice and some windblown twigs on way out (I tried to clear a bunch of them) but from B to Outlook it was nice skiing, with fairly decent classic tracks, and no bare ground. I skied at 3PM, temp 38 F, partly sunny.

We classic skied Piedmont today around noon when temps were still in the 30's. Amazing fun corn snow throughout was a treat! 100% coverage on the main loop, lots of snow left! A few spots where there was some of that "old snow turned to ice but not the scary ice" and some sticks. We were pleasantly surprised! Now if those walkers would just read the signs say stay off while there is snow on them. I used my good skis: aside from the sticks here and there it was fine. Snow is a tad on the dirty, old side.

Classic tracks remain skiable throughout all trails except the far back most difficult classic loop, where there's one gap in snow cover around a boulder. Trails were quite icy and fast this evening after today's colder temps.

Still very good classic skiing at Piedmont, with essentially no bare spots, and good tracks. Temps 38-40F and sunny. How great to still be skiing!

Trail was either freshly groomed or no one had skate skied since the last grooming. Everything was in excellent condition for both skate and classic. A dusting of new snow began falling as the sun went down.

Fantastic conditions this afternoon at Piedmont! Nice deep, firm tracks with the occasional soft pole plant. Enjoy the great conditions!

Freshly groomed today. January like conditions. The track was deep and firm. No debris. Piedmont is one of my favorite trails in the twin parts. Definitely a little gem. It tends to get more snow than some of the other trails in the area and keeps it longer and definitely worth some extra grooming time as we get into spring skiing.

Excellent conditions - freshly groomed this morning. The grooming crew at Piedmont is fabulous! Skied all trails, classic tracks well set. Skate bed a little soft and freshly groomed as well.
