All trails are open and in good shape, We are seeing some very small bare spots showing up due to the shallow base. Groomers are preforming daily maintenance grooming and in the process of resetting new classic track. Conditions are overall very good.

Great ski today at Nine mile. The groomer was setting a new skate deck and then setting track as we skied, was not totally done but in process. All areas really nice.

Very good skate lane conditions today after 11 am. Leo's loop was a bit rough, and the two road crossings have sand/snow mix so watch your ski bases. The Piston Bully was out laying track and grooming the skate lanes. The 20 km loop needed some grooming in places and there is steady but light debris on un-groomed patches, but I suspect these will be set and ready for a good weekend of skiing.

Very good skiing. With continued polar vortex weather snow has not transitioned and glide is minimal. The downhill sections are great to run right now, the ski traffic is very light. Deck is stable and flat with some soft areas.

Great ski today at Nine Mile. The tracks were hard and there was great glide with no ice. The skate deck looked great also but you could see there were some soft spots were some skis had sunk a little, saw less than one percent dirt / debris, the snow sounded like styrofoam being so cold but the classic skis were eating it up, cheers.

Beautiful trails this afternoon. Groomers did a great job setting out new tracks and corduroy with Pisten Bully. It was a little soft underneath but it should harden up overnight. Skied the 10k loop which had tracks and deck. Thanks grooming and chalet crew!

Wow-w-w-w... Wonderful diagonal striding on silky smooth tracks. Super grooming! Pure pleasure on the 6 K route. Ah-h-h-h.

Nine Mile received nearly 8" of snow yesterday. Though we were starting with nearly no base, the trails are looking to be in very good condition with a base of about 5". The PistenBully is out and we are laying classic track as well as a good comb on the skate lane. As of 9 am, the lighted loop. Leo's loop and 6k have been completed. The plan is to also lay track on the 10k and 20k today. Grooming will continue through the weekend.

I was on the lighted trails tonight. I was impressed with the trails since snow fall hasn’t been the greatest. A few bare spots but nothing that interfered with me skiing. Bare spots were mostly under some trees. I was able to ski without catching. Thank you.

Conditions at Nine Mile are pretty good. We've been able to put a comb on almost all the trails now. Most have classic tracks as well. The classic tracks are in pretty good shape for the most part. There are still areas where the ground is showing through due to lack of snow. We are doing routine maintenance on the trails daily to keep them in the best condition possible.
