Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomed/tracked system minus a short alternate return section. The trails are in great shape including the hill that was damaged by people walking, sliding. Skied trails after grooming. Should set up nicely overnight and be great for the weekend.

Beautiful conditions today. The back loop hill is rough, but if you know it's coming you'll be okay, snowplow! Perfect day for 8k.

The track was great, fast and great kick. The only problem was some people walked a section of the last loop and slid down the big hill in the middle of the last loop. We skied in the tracks as best we could. It is ok now, and the rest of the trail is so perfect it was kind of a shame.

Trail had been groomed a day before, but 2 inches of fluff snow fell since. People had skied on the trail that morning, so the tracks were nearly perfect with good glide. I forgot how hilly this trail is, a good workout. I saw 10 people skiing, but it was a Saturday.

Skied all 8k the tracks were good and had received about an inch of fresh snow. Hiram is set up well for the long weekend. Trail is classic only.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Finished up clearing grooming and setting track on the section of trail that returns to parking lot via the big hill. So now, 100% has been groomed and tracked. However, Hiram totally missed out on the recent snowfall, except for a slight dusting and so the majority of the system has not been groomed post holidays, but is still in good shape.

It's beautiful! Nicely groomed in great shape. We did all 8k and it was just about perfect! If you've not visited here, this is classic only, with gentle, rolling hills for the most part.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Finished clearing west loop so entire system is groomed and track set except small section leading to parking lot via the big hill. After grooming, I skied the entire system on my good skis, went well. There are twigs, leaves, etc. in spots where clearing was done, but not enough to bother ski performance.

Grooming 
[ Trails: Closed, Good skis ]
Cleared another loop then groomed and set track. We now have about 6k of groomed trail (out of a total of 8k.) There are twigs and leaves in some places but track set up well and skiing is good.
