Glorious ski on soft quiet snow as more big white snowflakes were falling. Tracks were set shallow and inconsistent. Recent two inches of snowfall and wind caused them to indiscernible on the advanced loop. Up to that junction we followed other skier tracks on the beginner and intermediate loops. Trails are packed wide enough to herringbone up and snowplow downhills as needed. Great conditions to take the one steep downhill instead of the bypass on the intermediate loop. It was about 20 degrees when we finished at 9:30. Extra blue worked perfectly to climb most hills in the tracks and still plenty of glide down.

County groomer reported packing the 6 inches of snow from last Wednesday and set tracks on all three loops.

Two of us skied the full loop. Minor drifting over of tracks in the open spots, but for the most part tracks were good. If you like hills there are lots of them. Recommend getting out of the tracks when going down the steep ones. Hills were not ice covered.

County groomer reported all three loops are packed and tracked. Caution on the steep downhill on furthest loop.

Trails haven't been groomed in a while. There are some areas on the farther trails that have set ski path but mostly has multiple tracks. Since the warm weather on Tuesday the trails are hard packed snow with some open areas. Deer beds and animal tracks on further trails that disrupt the trail entirely.

New county groomer packed but did not set track, so make your own in the new snow falling. Might be a good time to try the worst hills on the furthest loop when there is no track in which to get tangled up! Snowplow away!
