I classic skied Red Pine to River Run to access the Tamarack Pond wilderness trail. Conditions were excellent except for the occasional area with heavy forest debris from the heavy snow which fell from the trees that littered the trail with small branches, twigs, needles, etc. The Tamarack Pond trail had been freshly groomed and was in excellent condition. After completing the loop, I continued on River Run but cut it short by taking the cut off. There were numerous areas with forest debris after the cut off back to the chalet.

Skied at Winter Park the last two days. Skate yesterday was firm and fast. Classic skiing today was great, a little avoidable debris. It's wonderful to have warm weather skiing and great grooming. There's so much snow, it should last a long time. Spring skiing is the best!

Main trails are PB groomed, firm, nice tracks. Many others have been combed. Still a few of the longer trails need to be opened up, but are being worked on daily. With all this record snowfall, skiing is great.

With their expert groomers and equipment, conditions for the Wolf Tracks rendezvous race were fantastic. The skate lanes were fast with corduroy and good edging. The tracks were firm and were used much for the skaters. The 24k race was fun and had a good time.

The park is in great shape for Wolf Tracks Rendezvous this Saturday. All systems go, excellent snow depth and grooming throughout the park. Moderate temps going into Saturday morning.

Very good conditions for skating and solid track for striding. Snow is squeaky and somewhat slow due to the cold temps (around 0 today).

Classic skied today for almost 4 hours. Tracks were set on just about everything we wanted to ski, and skate deck was firm and fast. Regardless of the new snow that fell during the day and the lower temps, skiing was great. We decided to get out of the wind and did single tracks and explored many areas not seen before. It's hard to enjoy in cold and wind, but that's what we did. (VR30 did the trick).

Skied Cedar creek part of Big pine and Side kick today. These trails are single track classic only. They were groomed for the first time this year. It was a very nice ski with good tracks and no icy patches or bare spots. Also skied Tornado alley and XC express to connect the single track trails. The tracks are holding up nicely and the dusting of snow helped with the kick today. Skate decks looked good also.

The fresh PistenBully groomed trails were fantastic today...deep fast tracks and beautiful corduroy! Trails are starting to level out and any thin spots and debris are slowing disappearing. It's close to being good ski conditions on most of the skate decks.

The groomed trails were very fast but still good edging. It was wonderful at 15 degrees and 4mph wind.
With 1" new snow on a 5-7" base, MWP should continue be nice skiing for the days ahead.
