[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We received around 5+ inches of snow yesterday. Finally an amount we can work with. The end result is full coverage of both loops. The East loop which has been iffy recently is now in good condition. I would suggest getting out there before the deer ruin it. Some were active this morning leaving lots of fresh tracks in the new corduroy. Had to pause once as a couple were curious as to what I was up to. They really like freshly groomed trails. Tracks set up nicely, and should be firm.

Thank you RASTA! Strided the east Loop in 14 degrees under a blue sky with light winds. Beautiful. 98% clean 3/4 depth tracks, the other 2% offered some pesky thin, frozen leave laden patches. Very fun. Worth doing! Carpe Skiem!

The east side loop is good in spots, but sketchy in quite a few others. The west side loop is really good, only a few minor step-arounds. On the east side loop I'd recommend rock skis, but the west side you can use B or even good skis.

Our trails received around 3" of new snow this morning. Both the east and west loops were groomed with new classic tracks. There are still a few sketchy areas, mainly on the east loop, with two on the west loop. Otherwise the tracks are in good shape, and should firm up nicely.

Conditions are between fair and good, leaning towards good. 90%+ is good or better, just a few thin spots under the pines as previous mentioned. Those thins spots are easy to spot, and dance around. Even if you engage deep in the track as I did, the debris you touch is leafy, woody or pine cones. In other words, I never hit a rock or frozen soil. So there you have it. The skiing right now is better than in July.

Nose lake was tracked today.  The results are mixed. The east loop has the most thin spots, especially on the north side of Nose Lake road, and the open areas on the south side. On the west loop, the results are better, with the exception of the stretch under the pines shortly after the trail split.  Probably would be a good idea to leave the good skis at home.

Got back to working on the base today. Yesterday's snow was minimal, 2-3" of fluff. Due to the recent meltdown, the original base got pretty icy and hard. The groomers just laid down corduroy today, no tracks. However, the deck is paper thin, and keep in mind the underlying base is icy. Keep the good skis at home, and use only your B skis.
