Excellent conditions, all trails groomed yesterday. Snow depth about 10" with 4" groomed base. Classic tracks on all but troll, and look good. Snowshoe also in good shape, marked and with trail signs in the woods. Open house Sundays from 1-3, skis available.

I skied Eagle Loop and Lake Loop on Sunday. Classic track had been set on Friday (according to friend's report) and the trails had not been groomed since the snowfall. We could find the tracks under the snow, and sort of broke our own trail. After once around, we could easily ski in our own tracks. Snow was good and fluffy. We saw only about 6 skiers on Sunday, probably because of the temperatures (low single digits). I was well-layered and not cold at all.

I skate skied Soaring Eagle right before dark and a little after on Friday evening and again today. On Friday it was freshly groomed and excellent. Today there were two to three inches of light fluffy snow on top, but it hadn't been regroomed. My companion said it was excellent for skating again, though a little slow. As for me, apparently I goofed on the wax and had hardly any glide, so I had to work hard even on the flats. Darn, such good conditions are so hard to come by that I was bummed to miss the opportunity. Ah well, live and learn. At least Troll wasn't scary under those conditions! Classic was likewise excellent but slow. Tracks were filled in and thus a lot of work when we first arrived, but the more we skied the easier they got.

After 6 hours of grooming 3" of ice Lillie's and Eagle are groomed and retracted. They are very good now. Lake and Troll are still not groomed and are considered unskiable. Grooming plans: Plan to groom Lake and Troll on Friday.

Excellent conditions with a few thin spots, groomed Friday. Skate lane is just right, with 4" base. Classic tracks look good. There was a nice group of snowshoers out also. Open House Sunday 1-3, with equipment available.

All trails are now groomed as of today. Lillies, Eagle, and Lake have track set. Troll is groomed for skate only as of now. Snow coverage is very good with only a very few spots of leaves or dirt showing.

Excellent conditions with a few scratchy spots. Base 4", snow depth 10", 0 new. Skate and classic tracks are fast and firm, with enough snow for a good grip.

All trails are groomed and tracks set on Lillie's, Lake, and Eagle. Troll was groomed but not tracked. Skiing is in excellent with 4" of base and 2.5" of new snow. Leaves and pine cones are at a minimum.

All trails are open and groomed. The track was not reset as there is not enough base to grind up and reset. Lillie's, Lake, Troll, and Eagle are all in very good condition.
