Ski season has begun at Soaring Eagle! Trails were all rolled and packed Sunday, with about 10" new snow over the weekend. With a 2-3" base, the trails are ok for skating, a little soft and extra effort of course. Some grass, weeds, twigs are poking through, and there isn't enough snow yet for grooming a classic track. Some classic skiers have cut a track along one edge, especially on Eagle. Conditions are generally ski-friendly, but you'll want to use your older skis for now. We will have snowshoes available soon, although the snowshoe trails will need to be remarked and moved around a bit, due to extensive thinning in the red pine stand, with a number of long slash rows left behind.

The warming house is open. Potty Shack has been delivered and the parking lot is plowed. Trails have been rolled and packed, not tracked. We could use more snow, some grass sticking through. Several skiers out today, mostly skaters.
