Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Very much worth the drive from Madison. Did the 20K loop and then another 10, all classic. Some spots with grass and sticks poking through the tracks, but are easy to avoid. Skate deck in real solid shape.

Deep tracks and and a great skate deck. Trees had lots of snow in them. R had one bare hill on it but the bypass around it was good. R had a few rough spots. The Alps were in excellent condition but not tracked. Everything else had tracks.

[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Great conditions at Nine Mile. Full coverage, great deep tracks and less then one percent grass showing anywhere. No problems at all with good skis. Skate deck in a few spots was slightly soft but other than that great conditions on cold dry snow, hooray no more brown.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Nine Mile opens today with a 2"+ base on most of the system. Low snow conditions in the pines and sporadically throughout the rest of the system. Most of the system was groomed following yesterday's snow with classic tracks set on the lit loop. Grooming plans: Based on the forecast we will be grooming again tomorrow morning.

Grooming 
[ Trails: Closed, Bare ground ]
Trails are closed and very icy. We are still picking up debris from the wind storm and awaiting groomable snow snow. We have had a couple of light snows, but not enough to groom.

Grooming Scheduling 
[ Trails: Closed, Bare ground ]
Nine Mile Chalet and ski trails are closed until further notice. Mother Nature had her way and took all the snow she delivered less than a week ago. Until we get more snow, trails will not be able to be groomed.

First official opening day at Nine Mile-full coverage and well groomed! Skied the 20km Red loop. Was a perfect day to ski with 28F temp, clear skies and calm winds. Was almost the first one out so had the trail pretty much to myself!

Great conditions on trails. Skate deck was good except for minor uneven ridge in center on some, classic track was great most double track. We were pleasantly surprised. Saw no bare spots or dirt. Great day to ski.
