Rolled and feather boarded all trails. Otterslide was packed for the first time today and is very soft. I would advise avoiding otterslide at this time. Plan to track system tomorrow.

Groomed man-made snow on lower loops is fast and hard. No tracks set yet. Upper and west trails have been flat packed and skiing is very enjoyable on thin 1 inch base of natural snow. Did not ski down steep hills yet, won't until there is more snow.

All trails have been packed and have a good base. Rock skis recommend. Scheduling: We will be hosting Biathlon races Sat Dec 6 11am-1pm and Sunday Dec 7th 10am-12pm. The lower Biathlon trails will be closed to the public at these times but all upper Biathlon trails and GIA trails will be open all weekend.

Classic skiing was nice on one inch base rolled surface with a skiff of new natural snow on upper Bittersweet and Mag View. Avoided steeper downhills until more snow cover. Skate tracks by Junior MINSA indicate nice for skate skiing, too. Temps in 20's, no wind. Enter from Autumn Lane top yellow gate to avoid Service Road climb which may have some exposed dirt due to logging operations this past fall. Snowmaking underway on lower loops but mounds not pushed out yet.

Jr Ski Club out at Mt Itasca this morning. Trails had only been rolled so a bit bumpy. Thin base but overall just fine for November skiing. More snow on the upper trails.
They were setting up snow guns when we were leaving so it could be messy on the lower race trails.
