Groomed our most recent four inches of snow after dragging and scratching the previous icy surface. Set tracks, mostly a double set on the upper flatest sections. The best spring/post-Birkie skiing in years.

Groomed the flatest, open sections. Worked the icy skate deck into decent shape. No new tracks set, but I left the old ones that have a dusting of snow on top of the Ice. With warmer temps coming they should be ok. A few pine needles have dropped in. The hill up from the parking lot is icy. Get in those last easy K's before the Birkie! Say hi when you ski through the Strand-Johnson Gravel Pit!

10 inches of new snow. Repacked and combed all trails. No tracks set yet. Colder nights should help set the skate deck up nicely. Parking lot replowed. Enjoy!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
The warm days settled the base to about 10 inches. Below freezing overnight set it up nicely. Groomed everything and set tracks. A couple areas have a few pine needles mixed in. The parking area has been plowed. Owls were flying today!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Lots of new snow with the last 4 inches that was very dry. Rolled the mostly open areas, but like other local trails, lots of snow covered branches and pine branches hanging over the trail. We could use a small army of volunteers skiing or snowshoeing the trail and knocking the snow off so the things will spring back up. Nature isn't helping to do that. The help would be appreciated! Thank you!
