That was a great hour and a half ski. Trails were nicely set and someone went and broke the trail after last night's half inch of fresh snow so really fast. Get it while you can people! Thanks to Jeff for doing such a great job keeping the trails tracked this season!

The trails were rolled and tracked this morning after yesterday's 7-8" of snow. The snow covered up most of the debris from some of the recent high winds, and trails are in great shape.

Trail was groomed this afternoon after this morning's light snow. The tracks set nice and deep in most places. Unfortunately, by the time I returned to the parking lot, someone had walked on the ski trail from the parking lot to the trailhead. Other than that, trail is in good shape.

I skied the blue loop and part of yellow/orange in 15-degree temp with light wind. Trails were in great shape, nicely groomed and tracks well set. There was occasional small debris but nothing that slowed us down. Beautiful day on the trails!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
I packed the trails and then set tracks, and with the new snow that fell, the tracks will set up nicely. There was lots of debris from the high winds over the last couple of days - we removed the majority of what could be removed. Trails are in good condition.

Great ski today, really fast. All trails were perfectly groomed, and I thought the base was thick enough. There is a total of 5.5 km of trail. The east side of the road going to the trailhead has a nice wide shoulder plowed for parking, keeping cars away from the dump truck traffic (photo).

Great skiing today on easy single track mostly wooded trails. There are three loops with total of 4.5 km. The yellow Loop markings are orange instead of yellow but all intersections have maps so that shouldn't be a problem. It looks like the snowmobile racers are gone on tournaments so the practice track at the trailhead is nice and quiet.
