Fantastic mid-March skiing today, except for a few manageable water crossings. The base firmed up overnight and the trails were all nicely groomed. Thanks Jerry for the CLCF magic! Get out while the temps are agreeable for some late season skiing!

1.5 inches of new snow on a decent base. Trails were not regroomed today after new snow. Base was soft and snow was crunchy and slow. Running water at a number of low spots, but crossable. Hopefully things will firm up overnight and fresh groom in the morning.

Arguably 3PM in March isn't the best time to start skiing, but the snow turned out ok, or better than ok, except where streams had taken it away. Fine skiing overall. No regrets doing the extra driving.

Beautiful day to be out skiing at CLCF with the groomer - just after noon. Good coverage with firm deck and good control. Classic lanes looked good as well. Softening just as sun appeared. Grooming plans: Groomer intends to be out Sunday morning so should be great through about noon. Enjoy while it's here!

Kudos to Jerry for extending the good skiing through the weekend. Conditions were best in the am while the air temps were still hovering around freezing. Couple of bare spots you could step around and a few icy spots. Conditions felt like late March, Hopefully more snow is on the way.

Trail wizard Jerry made corduroy out of what seems to be nothing. Very skiable. Rare bare patches. I skied with good skis no problem but only because I forgot my B skis. Back woods are slick and not groomed this morning but skiable...if you like fast ice.
