I skied a very limited km of trail this morning, but found conditions similar to what was reported yesterday. Some additional grooming post my ski yesterday.

Portions of the trail system were newly groomed when I arrived this morning. About 1/4 inch sugary corduroy over very firm skate deck. In places where drifting occurred due to the high winds, the "sugar" was deeper but very skiable. In a few other places the wind stripped the surface so a little harder and icier, but also no problems. Spend a bit of time flicking twigs and branches off the trail, especially on Haugs, otherwise fine. Overall quite good skating. Classical tracks marginal and absent along some stretches.

Trails remain in good condition. 1/2 to 1 inch softer powder on very firm skate deck. Pretty fast late this morning with temperatures in the mid-teens. As I finished (noon), temperatures had climbed into the low 20s with intermittent sun. Classical tracks are marginal - shallow and degraded - in many places.

For what, where I skied today the trails are in very good condition for skating. Very firm deck with corduroy. Flurries throughout my day providing another 1/2 inch on top. Finland has been groomed, but be aware the steep hill coming down to Isaac Lake is rutted and had a few "holes" that I found treacherous (yeah, I crashed as one ski was gravitationally attracted to a deep rut!). Sun came out for the last 5 minutes (12:30) and temperatures were going up into the teens.

Started skiing with about an inch of new, dry powder over a hard skate deck. Grooming was underway halfway through my ski (4 pm) that helped speed things up, but certainly slower than yesterday. Should be good tomorrow.

Scratched/tilled sugar over very hard skate deck on most the trail. Fast and fun! Most places setting an edge wasn't a problem. Ruts are minimal. Finland hasn't yet been touched by the groomer. Can't say anything about Deep Woods as I didn't make it over there. Snowing in the area right now.

The groomer was out this forenoon trying to break up the meltdown and glaze on the trails. He worked on the east side. Whispering pines and the short cuts are now ski-able for skating. He has not worked on the classic track. It is glazed and degraded. Some of the west half of Whispering pines (ungroomed) is still ski-able. I would not go into Deep woods and Finland till it has been worked up. He plans to be back out working the trails on Wednesday or Thursday.

1 to 2 inches of newly groomed powder over firm skate deck. As of about noon today, the new snow had a noticeable moisture content. I skied a very limited km of the trails due to an injury, but what I skied was fine - not super fast but not slow. Once again quite lovely out there.

(Keith Brugger)

Conditions virtually identical to yesterday afternoon. In places there has been significant deposition of hoar frost that both speeded things up and allow for greater control on an otherwise hard-packed deck. Beautiful out there too!

With the high school race yesterday, the trails have experienced a lot of traffic. But in most places the skate deck is packed and firm, if being a tad rough from that traffic. In those areas that were used less there were some soft spots. A warm-up loop was groomed just before entering the woods (maybe 0.5 k?) and today that skied excellently; very fun skiing there!
