5" snow overnight. Windy conditions caused some drifting on the west side. The last couple of snowfalls have brought us to our yearly average of 65" and created great March ski conditions. Skate lane and tracks are perfect with nice temps for the next few days! Get out and enjoy while it lasts.

We got almost 6" snow overnight. Was able to pack, track and groom skate lane. Deck might be a little soft, but will set up tonight. Great late winter conditions!

We didn't get as much snow as most of the state, about 2", but it was enough to freshen the trail. Very good skate and classic conditions!

2" wet snow overnight groomed out nicely. Tracks are deep and skate lane is smooth. The recent warm weather hasn't affected the trail at all.

5.5 inches of cold smoke yesterday was just what we needed. The dry snow didn't set up very well on the skate lane, but I don't expect much skating for a few days while the the temps remain below zero throughout the day. It warmed up to -2F this afternoon.

A couple of inches of new snow was much needed on the hard base. There has been a lot of use on the trail with the near perfect ski weather. Skate lane groomed and new track set.

It's been a couple of weeks without snow and the trail showed it. I made multiple passes and was able to till up enough snow to comb a nice skate lane and set a decent track. Most of the trail lights cast a purple haze, which according to the City is the result of defective LED fixtures. They will be replaced this summer.

We weren't able to do anything on Manka since before Christmas due to mechanical problems. There was some drifting on the west side during the big storm, but everything groomed out nicely. Plenty of use on the trail despite the lack of maintenance. The hardy skiers will appreciate a combed deck and new tracks!

It was a brisk afternoon on the Manka with a couple inches new snow. The deck has firmed up and tracks are set for anyone willing to brave the cold days ahead.

11" heavy wet snow packed and groomed. The skate lane is soft but should firm up overnight. Track looked good! Surprisingly few branches down with the heavy snow.
