All trails were groomed and tracked this afternoon. Still icy on the steep hill at Pincherry. Trails have good snow coverage. Some pine and balsam needles in a few areas.

An inch or so of fresh snow covered the ice from this week's meltdown and refreeze. Frozen set tracks were good to ski in. Uphill herringbone a little slick with ice underneath.

The trails look like they were groomed just prior to the recent freezing mist phenomenon. There is a solid base and the glide was excellent, no melting happening today. A machine tracked classic track was not deep, but it is very functional. This trail was the most fun during my tour of local trails today.

Groomed skate ski lanes on all trails today. Classic tracks were not set but have been skied in and are in decent shape. I did ski a loop out to junction "I" and skiing was good.

Fresh two inches of snow over skate deck made herringboning up hill a little challenging but so happy to have snow over ice base. Tracks set long ago were great fun to ski in fresh snow. Took a tumble on steep downhill after Pincherry Junction. My ski slipped sideways on ice at the bottom when I was at full speed. :) Extra blue was slow breaking trail in fresh snow but just right on return trip in the tracks.

Strong winds and blowing snow yesterday. Today calm and above zero by midday. I had a great ski packing in the barely visible tracks on most of protected Prelude loops. Up at Red Pine junction the strong winds blew the new snow off the ice base. I did not do Lake Loop. Did a lot of stick flicking. More to do by the next skiers! No deadfalls on the trails I was on. My sticky green wax was perfect.

Cold day today. All trails are packed and tracked. 85-90% coverage with some debris here and there. Probably could use good skis if you're careful. Thankful for the groomers!

Blueberry has been packed and tracked. A little thin under pines, but now new snow falling so fun to ski it in!!

Groomer flat packed two inches of new snow on Prelude, Lake and to H and back. Thin base ready for more snow!
