Plenty of snow and great grooming offers great skiing right now. Firm and clean tracks offered a good glide despite the cold temperatures there have been here. The skating lanes were touched up again today.

Great conditions at Pincushion. Skied all the trails and the tracks were well set and firm. Double poling was a bit of a struggle due to soft pole plants but it worked. Snow is cold but it made the hill climbing easier!

Trail Base: 6-8". All trails are groomed for skate and classic skiing. Conditions are very good but expect a soft skate deck until it firms up.

Freshly groomed and packed. Classic ski tracks were sharp and best ski of the year yet on the pincushion loop!

A fresh half inch to an inch of fluff overnight and rapidly warming temps have softened everything up considerably. Classic tracks were holding up but skate deck was getting soft. Deck was especially soft on Canyon Curves and Hilfiker loops (see photo). Snowman deck was still very firm. Skiing was excellent.

Classic skied Snowman Loops and West Overlook at sunset after helping complete full system grooming in the morning. Conditions were superb. The recent snow groomed up beautifully with well set tracks and gorgeous corduroy on a firm, fast skate deck. The snow at the upper elevations is especially tasty. Enjoy!
