The full loop was in excellent condition for skating this evening. Hats off to the groomer because, with the new snow additions today on top of a well packed and slightly skied corduroy skating lane, the conditions were as good as they get. No ice whatsoever with a full, wide lane and classic track next to it made for a beautiful evening of skiing on this course. Thank you to the groomer(s) and snow gods!

The trail groomed up beautifully this afternoon with 3-4 inches of base on the skate deck and a classic track was set. Get out and enjoy it folks.

I was surprised at how much snow had fallen/accumulated on the trail since it was rolled yesterday. It definitely made a difference to have the rolled surface underneath (Thanks, groomer!) but it was still hard work through the deep areas. Beautiful winter wonderland trees and sweet soft downhills.

Highland 9 was rolled and groomed with the roller attachment. 2"-4" skate deck depth, with no classic as of now. Get on your skis and ride!

Highland 9 was groomed today. There is a 1-2" skate deck, with grass exposure through out. Not enough snow depth for a classic deck. Until we receive more snow. Enjoy it while you can cheers.

A patchy mix of very slippery frozen snow and grippy fresh snow. Both the classic and skate tracks were blown away.

Trails had been rolled but significantly drifted over. No classic tracks - used the skied-in tracks. Approximately 1 inch base in most spots with occasional grass or asphalt golf paths poking through, yet easily avoidable. Skate deck looked soft but similarly navigable.

No classic tracks yet, but I skied on the skate trail and it wasn't too bad. Lots of blown snow, but mostly washboard. Looking forward to classic tracks here and on the 18-hole course.

Highland 9 Hole has been rolled. Due to heavy winds it created some bald grass areas. The trail was rerouted a bit. The heavy winds are still upon us, the rolled trails have been blown over, but still visible.

Grooming was happening in windy conditions at 9:00 this morning. Hope to get on the snow later today!
