Pleasantly surprised!! A thin layer of fresh snow over boiler-plate with no bare ground anywhere. No grooming for some time(?). Once you settled in, it was good skiing. Of course, plenty of fresh debris with the windy evening, but all tolerable. Tracks were thin and contained plenty of debris, but no dirt or ice. Not all the trails had tracks set, but I skied most of the outer loops in the tracks. I did 1/2 skate, then realized many tracks were OK and switched to classic. Enjoy!

No grooming since Monday. The skating deck comes in three types: very hard and glazed boiler plate, wind-driven drifted patches, and 1/4" of new, cold snow from last night. Most of the classic tracks have lots of oak leaves, pine cones, and needles and only a fraction have been set in the last two weeks. They are washed out.

Skied classical on most trails. New tracks have recently been set except Tempo, Donut, Lookout, Forget Me Not, Serenity Now between 61 and 71, and I Loop. Where new tracks are set, conditions are good. There are sections of numerous oaks leaves and some debris.

As of 3:00 the groomer had made two to three passes on almost all the trails, leaving a January-like skating deck: firm cord, fast, excellent control. About 10% of the trails had new classic tracks set and the new ones are fast and firm, the old ones are worn out.

No grooming. The skating lane has been well skied-in and is mostly good, but uneven and getting crusty in some places. The classic tracks are getting glazed but remain clean and firm.

The trails have not been groomed since our 1" snowfall Thursday night. The skating deck has seen quite a lot a skiers and is packed down but uneven on all of the trails. The snow is firm. Where the classic tracks have had a lot of use they are packed down and mostly smooth. The lights are on until 9:00.

As of 2:00 this afternoon no grooming had been done. The 1" or so of new snow has been untouched. There have been a few dozen skaters who have beaten down the skating deck but it's uneven and medium speed at best. Some classic skiers have used the old tracks on a few trails, but generally the tracks are humped up, soft-sided and uneven. I tried classic skiing for ten minutes and gave up and switched to skating, which wasn't bad, but could have been excellent on fresh cord. Disappointing conditions.

Skate deck was groomed on Monday. Trails were fast in the nicer temperature today with good control and conditions. The tracks have not been reset and look mostly good with the usual oak leaves and some sections getting worn out.

The last grooming on the skating deck was Monday. On most of the trails the deck is hard to very hard with little cord. There are some thin/light brown spots. The skills areas have gotten a lot of use but are holding up. The classic tracks haven't been touched in over a week and most stretches have debris in the tracks. But in between oak leaves the tracks are firm and moderately quick. Ironically, "Forget Me Not" trail was forgotten with the last classic track setting.

Almost all the trails received a light scruff-up this morning, leaving some shallow cord. Skating is pretty fast. None of the classic tracks were touched.
