The winter storm has delivered less snow than forecast so far, about 4-5 inches of relatively wet snow.

Bill reports that conditions are really nice.

The entire trail system was 100% groomed this morning (by 9am) after the wet (and slow) dusting from Sunday night. Beautiful!
FYI-There is a minimum of a foot of base over the bridge crossings. Time it correctly-right skis and wax-and it's excellent!

Skated all the trails. Things were getting warm in the afternoon but the skate deck remained firm. Glide was good but a bit slow. Pincushion loop deck was a bit uneven due to hikers footprints, but the rest of the system was great. Tracks looked firm but a little glazed. Hopefully continued good condition thru warmer temps.
