Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomers were out this afternoon renovating and combing the skate lanes.  A short section of the Moose and Homestead Loops were not groomed.  Tracks that were set over the weekend are still in great shape; firm and deep.  Tomorrow is shaping up to be an enjoyable day to ski.

The trail was firmer than I expected after the recent 5 inches of new snow. Trees are snow covered and the trails are as scenic as any around.
