The trail conditions have improved so much since a week ago! The trails are flat, the tracks no longer have debris, and a little new snow each day has made all the difference. We skied to the Sugarbush Cabin and the Anchor loop, and it was all great. Its probably fine to use good skis now, but I can't say for sure because it was dark and lightly snowing. The skate deck is a little soft because it's been so cold.

The groomers have been busy today! Classic only trails have all been rolled. Tracks are set on Sugarbush. Skate/classic combo trails are groomed and tracked on the Ashwabay property. The connecting Jolly trails have not been groomed.

Classic skied about 18 km this morning. There was a little bit of fine cold new snow overnight. The groomers were out laying corduroy, and setting tracks as I skied. Skied new tracks the entire time. Snow is still a bit soft, firming up a bit though. Kick was great, glide was a tad slow due to the cold new snow. Twigs, gravel/sand and grass still poking through the base on sections. Overall a great cold ski! I just love the hill climb options here. Thank you groomers, keep up the awesome work and I'll start amping up my Birkie training. See you on the trails.

Overnight we received 4" of fresh snow. Today Sugar Bush Classic, Abbey Road, and Anchor Loops were flat dragged and tracks set.

Classic skied short of 20 km this afternoon. Classic tracks were set on trails I skied: Abbey Road, Anchor, Seagull skate, Deer Path, Northern Lights, Upper Anchor, and Rollercoaster. Parts of the tracks were skied in old tracks, I tracked up 2 inches of fresh snow on Northern Lights. Conditions in the tracks and on the skate deck were soft, thin, but phenomenal for the amount of snow. I actually can't believe they were able to set tracks. B skis are recommended because grass, twigs, gravel, and rocks are around due to the thin conditions. Overall, a great cold weather ski! Get your Birkie training where you can this year. Praying for more snow! Thank you groomers! I'll be back.

4" of fresh snow last night. Groomers have been out this morning. All classic only trails were first flat dragged then tracked. Most parts are excellent! Areas under trees are still a little thin and have some stubble poking through. Anchor Trails, Seagull and Abbey Road have been flat dragged and in the process of being combed and tracked.

Skied both on Wednesday night and Thursday morning out Abby Rd to the Sugarbush cabin (about 3.5k each way). It was great! A little uneven in places, but no dirt, debris or rocks anywhere. So happy that winter is here!

Trails are combed, no tracks. Coverage is still thin, especially under the trees, use caution! Skate lanes are groomed on Abby Rd, Anchor, Seagull and Northern Lights. Classic prepping on Sugarbush Classic and Deer Path. Grooming plans: Plan to groom again tomorrow, and hope to set tracks.
