Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Trails groomed up very well this morning. I'm sure the skate deck will be soft for some skiers but the track setter set a perfect classic track. All trails are groomed with the exception of finland and the upper lit trail. There are some 4 ft drifts on parts of those trails. Enjoy.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Good skis ]
No sugar coating this. The wind and 8 inches of snow made some of the trails impossible to groom. I managed to drive the snowmobile around them but with ice underneath and powder on top I had no traction. Grooming plans: I will groom early tomorrow morning, with any luck the snowmobile tracks will set up.

Skate deck continues to be in good shape. Speed earlier this morning was ok, but slowed down quite a bit as the sun hit the trails and temperatures got close to freezing by 11:30. A few stretches have a fair amount of leaves, but nothing really affecting the skiing for now.

Skate deck is in very good shape – recently groomed and firm. Shades sections were a bit slow as expected but overall nice skating. Classical tracks looked fine where we skied. Some human footprints along several kilometers.

All trails were groomed this morning. The little snow we received yesterday was a blessing. The trails groomed very well. Fresh classic track and skating deck.

[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Initially, late morning the skate deck was hard, icy in some places and fast. Some of the deck was ski-rutted and a bit rough. But noon sections of the trail were becoming fairly wet and slow. I found some kms that were shaded, and skied pretty nicely. Classical tracks are marginal, they're there but shallow and wide in places.

The skate deck was nicely groomed and very fast, at least until about noon when I was done for the day. After that, it got very warm. There were also less sticks and debris on the trail, so that was good.

I skied the entire trail and the skate deck was very hard and fast, not quite icy, and with lots of ruts. There is a lot of debris on the trail from the recent high winds.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Skated about 10K of the trails. Sections that are protected from the sun were very firm and fast. Anything that the sun could get at was very soft and slow. The classic track looked to be marginal to OK.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
I groomed all skating deck tonight. Covered up all the deer and human tracks. The trails have had heavy use. Some leaves in some of classic tracks. Skiers the next few days should find very fast track.
