Beautiful ski! 1-2 inches fresh powder over a firm skate deck and excellent classic tracks. Gorgeous vistas and plentiful trees bedecked with fresh snow! We skied Bambas and Sommers loops and found the snow to be very forgiving. No ice at all. Many thanks to the Ely Nordic Ski Club for a wonderful ski.

4-5" of fresh powder fell Sunday afternoon and was packed and groomed Sunday night. New tracks set on nearly all the classic trails and fresh corduroy everywhere. Fantastic conditions!

Trails are groomed and tracked and in great shape. A little debris but I didn't hesitate to use my good skis. I hit Bombas, sommers loop and the birch highlands.

Skied Bambas a few times. Less icy than expected. Few debris on trail but very managable. Groomed, I don't know how recently, but no classic tracks set. Seemed to be ok for skate. Classic was a little difficult with no tracks but had a fun day nonetheless.

2-3" of packed base on the skate deck, skiing very well. With the thin base it's B ski conditions. Not enough snow to set classic tracks yet.
