We missed out on the forecast snow on Wednesday night and instead got a good dusting of bark, twigs and needles with a few sticks tossed in from the heavy winds on Thursday. I touched up all trails today except for Big Pine Cutoff and in most cases was able to greatly reduce the debris by lightly renovating the thin base. Most of the trail is better now than earlier in the week as the base is now harder and I was able to set track in more places. Still a few thin spots to watch out for, particularly the first downhill from the office to the Powerline bridge has a few rocks poking through despite several attempts at throwing more snow on top of them. Conditions are pretty good on most of Big Pine except between between map point 12 and 37 (east side of loop). Red Oak has a couple of very thin spots here and there and the west side of Deer path is a bit rough. Hopefully we'll get some more snow soon! Grooming plans: Planning to groom on Monday morning. Please note that skiers are encouraged to use the Hwy H parking lot this weekend due to limited parking near the main trailhead.

Treehaven received about 3-4" of light fluffy snow this morning. All trails except the single track portion of Dragonfly were flat groomed. I was able to set track on about 50% trail segments, but our base is still too thin under the pines to set tracks everywhere. Would rate conditions as rock ski still due to the thin base, but overall conditions have significantly improved. Tried to shovel snow in a few spots to take care of some of the more hazardous areas. Conditions are somewhat marginal on West side of Deer Path and the SE part of Big Pine (12 to 37). Best conditions on Sugarbush.

We received a fluffy inch of snow today and I was able to touch up a lot of our trails. Its still rock skiing without tracks, but every flake counts! Best conditions can be found on the N 1/2 of Big Pine, N 1/2 of Red Oak, and Sugarbush. Conditions are pretty rough between map points 18 and 19 on the Red Oak Loop and also on the downhill by map point 28 on Big Pine. We normally are classic skiing only but without enough snow to set tracks skaters are welcome for the time being. Photos show the current range of conditions from pretty good to pretty bad.

Treehaven got about 1/2" of new snow overnight, which added a bit to our thin base. Sugarbush, Deer Path, N half of Red Oak, and the Big Pine Loop were groomed but no tracks were set. I used the dump box on our UTV to haul several loads of snow to thin spots between the main trailhead and Pickerel Creek which should make it possible to ski from both our main trailhead as well as the one on Hwy H. Conditions are best on Sugarbush, and the northern portion of Big Pine (from cordwood to the office). Recommend avoiding other trails until we get more snow.

Treehaven received about 3" of light fluffy snow this weekend. Unfortunately we lost most of our base during the late December rain storm and thaw so we are basically starting from scratch trying to set a base again. I rolled Sugarbush, Deer Path, North half of Red Oak and Big Pine this afternoon, but did not attempt to groom. Sugarbush is the only trail I would recommend skiing at the moment and even then expect to hit a few rocks as the base is quite thin. Other trails are best avoided as they have too thin a base and too many rocks and roots to make skiing fun and safe. Grooming plans: If things set up well I may try to flat groom some trails as time allows later this week. We will need significant new snow to be able to set tracks.

We received about 2" of very light fluffy snow yesterday and I was able to flat groom some trails today. Prior to the recent snow, we still had an icy base in spots, but also had large stretches of bare ground. Where there was existing base there is now a skiable trail, but expect rock ski conditions. Elsewhere the coverage is generally spotty or too thin to ski. Sugarbush is the only trail that I would recommend skiing at the moment; coverage is pretty good until the downhill east of map point 22. Recommend avoiding other trails until we get more snow. Grooming plans: we most likely will not groom again until after the holidays, but as always will post a report if we are able to groom.

We currently have about 3" of snow. All ski trails were packed with our snowmobile to set a base, but we don't have enough snow to groom or set tracks. Would not recommend skiing at the moment, but some trail segments now have enough snow to be skiable (just barely) if one can avoid the rocks, roots and thin spots.
