Lovely conditions at Nine Mile this afternoon. Skate lane was a little soft on top but lots of depth with a solid base. No classic tracks set at this time. Snow is getting dirty and there was a couple wet spots on top of the snow but really nice spring skiing.

We re-groomed skate deck yesterday and are resetting track this morning. We had no bare ground reports yesterday. Skiing has been wonderful in the afternoon and evening. Fewer oak leaves than earlier. We will remain open as long as we have skiers and snow to groom, so come visit.

We regroomed all of the ski trails for skating this morning. We did not groom the classic trails. we have stopped grooming the Alps and a little Alps We do not have any dirt spots at this time. Conditions will be fast in the morning and will soften up in the afternoon due to the temperatures. Snowshoeing is also open. Ski and snowshoes available for rent.

All trails are in good shape. Due to the warm temps the current plan for grooming is: the Lighted Loop, Cookie Trail, Y trail, 6k and 10k will be the focus for our grooming. The 20k will be groomed when needed and if we can get to it. The Alps will no longer be groomed this season. Our grooming equipment is out of service at Nine Mile and we are in the process of getting other machinery out there to replace. Grooming operations are currently at a standstill until repairs can be made or other equipment out to the location. Please bear with us!

All trails were groomed yesterday and some today. Skate lanes looked good. Classic tracks were firm and deep with some leaves in tracks. Afternoon sun softened some areas but those in shade were good. The ones that had sun were icing as the tracks got back into shade. Person in lodge said trails will still be groomed as long as it gets below freezing at night.

Wonderful and rocket fast conditions, with excellent fresh corduroy on most sections. I don't think skate skiing can get better than this. 52 km today on my new skis, they could have used more wax but they were the gear for the occasion. It's very fast so one needs great control to have fun.

Fast hard granular, no sheet ice yet. Softens in the afternoon. Skate is better than classic, but classic on 6k and Leo’s were good.

The groomers are Piston Bully grooming the entire system. Wednesday found fresh tracks and skate lane on the 20k. Tuesday the 10k was done. They plan to keep the trails fresh into the weekend. Skiing is very good and should remain good. Plenty of snow to work with.

Excellent. Trails were firm, flat and even. Primarily skied the ALPS section. Trail segment was Top notch condition with skate lanes and tracks set. Groomed last on Wednesday and no one had skied this section yet. Corduroy conditions found.

Started around zero today. Trails were in almost perfect shape...Fresh stiff corduroy on skate decks and tracks were new, solid and clean. Classic, with 4 layers of base green and another 2 under my foot killed it. For the temps, it was not slow. Get out here, it's great.
