We had about 6" of fresh snow Wednesday. Rolled and groomed trails for classic skiing. Some of the best skiing for the season. Get out and enjoy before it is all gone.

We had 4"-6" of light fluffy snow covering a solid base. Tracks laid great over the new snow. Cold weather should set up a firm tracks for skiing. Enjoy the weekend skiing. If I missed a trail I apologize. My first solo flight grooming.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All trails were groomed at night after a rainy afternoon Tuesday that turned the trails to an icy deck with approximately 1/2" of snow on top of that. Ran the knives on the groomer to break up the deck. Classic tracks are somewhat in fairly good shape.

All trails at Goose Lake have been groomed this afternoon. While there was no new snow, some areas had drifted in with the windy day yesterday. Ready for great weekend weather!

Entire system is finally cleared of downed trees and debris! The first three loops from the parking lot are groomed and track-set. Excellent snow. The western half of the system (from the bench) has been rolled and packed, but no track set yet.

I could tell they have worked very hard clearing all the trees and branches after the big storm early this year. All the trail are tracked and in very good shape until you get to intersection number 9. Then the outside loop is rolled but tough to ski on and the cut offs have not been rolled and all. There is still 1/2 the trails in very good shape.

Grooming

All of the three loops of the trail system east from map location #9 (bench in the woods) are cleared and groomed/tracked. That is about 8 miles of cleared and groomed trail. There are lots of pine needles in places that keep falling, but otherwise a nice base. Everywhere west of post #9 is travel-at-your-own-risk.

Skied Goose on Saturday and Sunday. Talked to a groomer on Sunday and he was busy rolling the trails and clearing trees from the trails near marker 9. There was quite a bit of cleanup to do. Tracks were set out to marker 6 or so.
