Skied the east, west and military trails from late morning into early afternoon. It appeared that grooming hadn't been done through the last several days of snowfall. We had some tracks to follow (in many areas only one other skier) but it was generally soft and tough going. Even so, the beauty of the trails stood out.

Great conditions today in 25 degree weather at Anvil. About a half inch of snow on top of freshly groomed trails gave a nice glide and quite fast conditions. Thanks Evan for the timely grooming.

Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
10" Base. All segments have been groomed and tracked. While grooming there were several large groups hiking the newly groomed tracks and skate deck from the Military Road Trailhead, so it may appear to not have been groomed. However, from the shelter and from STH 70 Trailhead, all trail segments are in excellent skiing condition.

Thanks to Dave Peters for your fine work grooming and keeping the trails in great working order due to challenging blow downs. We know your the guy that's doing all the work out here and this was my first visit to Anvil since I worked here. Glad to see you finally got a roller!

Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
10" Base. All segments have been groomed. Due to an equipment malfunction the access trails (Military and the short spur trail from STH 70 trailhead) were groomed but not tracked. However, the entire interior system (West, Devils Run, Ninemile and East trail) have been groomed and tracked. Conditions are excellent.
