Yesterday's warm and windy conditions had a big impact on the trails. On the positive side, the transformed corn snow offered great glide on polar wax. The negative was that the beautifully groomed deck was sporadically covered with branches and debris. I cleared much of the classic tracks, but there is still a lot left. Moose have made several new crossings.

County groomer reported: Stoney turned out really nice today. No new moose tracks, but old ones from a few days ago. Packed and tracked 6 inches fresh snow from last week and last night. No debris on trail.

Classic tracks are ok, here and there on the Bunny trail and Stoney ridge trail, snow is a bit thin and there are some icy areas. Overall it was worth driving out there today for a ski! Tons of moose tracks!

I was excited for fresh grooming at Stoney Ridge, but was surprised that it felt like early season conditions. The packed snow was still settling and the classic track was shallow, yet functional. A few moose had already utilized the trail. One of the best trails for wildlife experiences.

County groomer reported packing and tracking all three loops on this beautiful 10degree sunny day. He did not see any moose, but lots of evidence of their presence. Go ski for yourself!

Two of us skied the full 10k loop. We took turns breaking through the 3 inches of snow. Lots of moose tracks. Someone had skied the first loop so that was helpful. The cedar trees in the back loop are worth the trip.

County groomer reported that he had packed trails a week ago and there was a skiff of fresh snow over the base. Lots of moose tracks!
