Fresh corduroy this morning made for an excellent skating deck on all trails. Most of the classic tracks were re-set, but there still are some high-glide/glare tracks out there, so waxing is either blue hard wax on the new or silver klister or skins on the old.

Skate deck was freshly groomed and looked about perfect. New tracks had not been set, but the groomer was still out there when we left, so maybe there are now. Tracks away from the chalet/lighted trails were good and fast.

The skating deck is firm and well skied-in, and getting a bit crusty/hard in places. Fast. The classic tracks are deep, clean, have a bit of a glaze, and are very fast.

As of 10:00 this morning almost all the trails had been groomed with fresh corduroy. Combine that with the light mist that was falling and the skating was nearly effortless. No new classic tracks had been set but the classic skiing was also effortless in tracks that had a slight glaze on the bottom and no debris in them.

The groomer was out this morning and went over most of the trails and set new, excellent corduroy. The hilly trails (Big Falls, Horseshoe, Ruby's) were not groomed today. Some new classic tracks were set. The existing tracks are icy and fast and without oak leaves.

No new grooming of the 1" of snow that fell in the last 24 hours. Skaters have skied it in and made for a firm deck. The tracks were fast where skiers had used them, a bit slow where they hadn't been. Good control on the downhills but a bit more work going uphill after the temperature got over 32 degrees.

The inch of new, moist snow over the sleet we had early this morning made for fast and controllable skating this morning. No new grooming but until the temp got to 34 and the new snow depth to 2", the skating was good, but slowing down after that. Classic skiers reported slow going in tracks filled with new snow.

The 1/2" of light powder that fell overnight didn't diminish the excellent conditions for both skating and classical. No new grooming today due to the holiday. The classic tracks are clean and fast.

Excellent conditions for both skating and classic. Both groomers were out this morning. The Track Truck groomed the skating deck and left a nice, uniform, firm corduroy. The Polaris came along behind and set new tracks on all the trails, including the hills and intersections. A light dusting of snow kept falling and put a skim of snow over the few oak leaves in the tracks, making for smooth glide. I'm told there will be no grooming tomorrow due to the holiday.
