[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
It was a beautiful morning to be in the woods. About an inch of light snow had fallen since the last grooming, so it was a little slow going the first time around. Everything except the 7-8 trail was groomed. Still a lot of twigs sticking through, since the coverage is thin. The skiing is also bumpy because the snow just covers the ground. Grooming was excellent, and I was happy to make two full loops and enjoy the quiet. It is close to 13K if you ski the whole outer perimeter.

Trail was groomed on Wednesday after 3" new snow, and a stretch of -35 degree temps. Trail is getting better after each little snowfall, but still a little rough is the swampy areas.

Over .60" of rain was not kind to our ski trail. Hopefully it will cool down, and we will get some new snow to cover the base we have now.

[ Trails Open: Partial, Rock skis ]
Generally good conditions nearer the trailhead where it was groomed. I stayed north of Pequaywan Lake Rd. Got a little thin and grassy around 12-11-5. Got a little rough 10-9 (outer loop). And 8-7 was so rough and ungroomed that I had to bushwhack back to the snowmobile road and take it back to 2 and the trailhead. Beautiful area, I look forward to coming back! BTW I skied the loops clockwise (making all left turns).

Started out at the main trailhead and then skied over to the south trails but turned back after half hour. The wide open groomed sections are good but once you get deeper into the woods there is a lot of bumps and dips so it becomes more of a balancing act than a ski. Nice to just be out in the fresh powder though.

Went to check out this trail for the first time. Loved exploring the different loops, felt backcountry-ish at times breaking trail, and was magical with the snow on the trees. I stayed away from the frozen pond/bog between markers 5 and 11 as it was warm and the ice looked melty. Huge thanks to the volunteers who maintain the trail, it was a wonderful ski.
