Friday had a layer of ice on top, icy powdery conditions. Conditions would be rough on traditional skis, a great day for backcountry/ skins.

River Run and others were well groomed. Spots in the sun could get a little slushy, in the shade a little icy. Was a great day!

Really firm conditions at MWP, skate deck was bordering on icy this morning, but softened a little in the afternoon to make for a really fast and fun skate. Spots in the sun tended to get a little sugary by the afternoon but not slushy. Appeared that most people were skating today, tracks were a bit shallow and icy looking and klister or skins would probably be needed at this point. Kudos to the groomers for such great conditions.

Most trails open with about half groomed every other day. Grooming was perfect, skate deck was set hard with deep cord, tracks for classic were consistent. Trails we skied were nepcos, silver strider, base loop, tornado alley, x-c express, all groomed last night. We didn't see any ice or bare spots on trails. Beautiful, even the deer loved them.

Arrived just past 9 am to perfect corduroy and new set tracks on at least 25k (probably more) of the 86km system. The groomers did a great job working with all the snow that's still here. Fun to have the tea house open, made for a nice stop towards the end.

Skated the trails from 8-10am today. Lake Marie and all trails leading to it are in great shape. Lots of snow here. Grooming was excellent.

The Pisten Bully hit the trails this morning after a weather and "gremlin" delay the last few days. Groomers got almost the entire park groomed up including one long trail: Lake Marie. Lots of fantastic trails to chose from today and conditions are excellent. We still have lots of snow to play in up here. But head out early today to beat the heat.

The groomers had equipment problems and were not able to groom this morn so the trails were packed and icy this morning at 10am. I waited until 11 for conditions to soften and it worked. Although still a little icy, I had an excellent true spring ski regardless of the increased detritus that is inevitable. Get there soon. Ski in warm weather.

Great conditions for this time of year however high winds did some damage. River Run had some areas of blowing snow that filled into tracks just after hill bypass. Island hop completely drifted over in center, so I turned around. Beginning of Base loop also filled in tracks from blowing snow. Still a great day of skiing.

Another little bit of snow last night! Groomers got out and set classic tracks and skate decks on almost all trails including River Run and Lake Marie. It looks and feels very wintery today so take advantage of these conditions while they last! It's a bit blustery today but most of the trails are well protected from the wind.
