Skied most of green and inner purple trails. Conditions were very soft and slow, but great that it was groomed after the recent snow. There was full coverage on everything we skied and good skis are probably OK. Conditions should be great once things firm up.

We have snow! We hope to get our crew out with the new roller to do some initial packing and light grooming beginning Tuesday.

I biked the yellow trail all the way to the end of the point and back to see how things were. Looks like it will still need a lot of snow to get these trails ready for skiing. Where there is snow, it's only an inch or two deep but many bare spots exist in between the patches of snow on the trail. There's also one large birch tree across the left fork of the yellow trail as you head out to the point. The city will have to get out there and remove it before anyone can groom.

Recent weather conditions have given crews and volunteers the opportunity to get some much needed trail prep done before the season kicks off. At this time however, we are still too light on the snow amounts in the forest to kick of any grooming or packing; but none the less, our equipment and staff are all ready for whatever the next snowfall brings! Season passes will be for sale in the next week on the 2nd floor of the Government Center or at Northwest Outlet. You can also purchase a season or day pass at the trail heads using the envelopes provided. Keep an eye out for our new roller with track setter this year as we continue to look for ways to keep our trails looking great!

Trails are not open yet or groomed, only a few tracks from people who had skied after the last snow.
