Friday, February 14, 2025
Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
The groomers were setting new cord this morning. Some oak leaves were turned up in the sharp corners, but overall good skating. The 2-3K of tracks are firm and mostly free of leaves.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
The 1/2" of dry powder that fell yesterday did a decent job of covering the thin spots/leaves on the skating deck. The machine-set classic tracks got faster with more skiers going over them.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Both 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Some fresh cord, some older packed snow on the skating deck throughout the system. Corners near the chalet have leaves on the deck and thin snow. The groomers were working this afternoon. The big news is the Tidd-Tech groomer that belongs to the Ski Striders was found in a warehouse after being missing for 10+ years and was used to set tracks on the lighted trails and Flyway. The tracks are very good with just occasional thin spots.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic Secondhand 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
It looks like the groomer made a few passes this afternoon on the trails within 1K of the chalet, in addition to what was groomed yesterday. The snow is thin. Oak leaves and grass are sticking up in many places. Several reports of face plants by very experienced skiers. No tracks set. The skills areas have been groomed but also have a lot of grass/weeds sticking up.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Lots of skiers out, and already lots of tracks. The trail down to Yin Yang didn't seem like a pass was made that way, so I didn't check that section and can't speak for the intermediate loop at the bottom. Big Falls appeared to have had a pass done, but I wouldn't call it groomed. Everything else was packed and tracked; no classic tracks set. Snow was mostly soft and slow, although there was a stretch here and there that was solid and a bit faster. Some sticks and debris, and a few thin spots, but all in all good coverage.

Evening
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Most, Rock skis ]
Most trails have had a pass or two of the groomer. There are many thin spots with leaves and/or dirt sticking up through the snow, but most of them can be avoided. Neither of the skills areas have been groomed. No classic tracks.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Very thin with patches of dirt and leaves. What snow is here has been rolled. Not worth a visit without more snow, in my opinion.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Rock skis ]
Most of the lighted trails are open. They did a great job grooming with the amount of snow that we have! There are some bare spots, but it's covered fairly well for now.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Most, Rock skis ]
Home for the holidays and was able to get out for 10k at Tower. Definitely rock ski conditions with plenty of roots, rocks, and bare patches, but overall it was still skiable. Downhills were not groomed but most of the trails were still in okay shape.

Conditions were good for what fell from the sky. Most trails were open that we skied, some black trails were not. There is ground poking through as it seems newly groomed, and downhills were a bit dangerous in order to avoid the dirt, and thus falling with some speed. Was happy to get 10k in!
