Trails were awesome! Some of the best skiing of the year so far! Amazing job keeping the trails top-notch!! Could barely even tell there had been snowmobiles through. Hats off to the groomers! Classical tracks are firm and fast, and the deck was perfect! Went all around the perimeter for a 5mi ski at sunset, and even the wind held off.

Combined over the last few days we have gotten about 8-10 inches of heavy, wet snow on the trails. Our groomer has been working for 6 hours rolling the trails and setting the tracks. Unfortunately, we had some snowmobiles enter the Arb from the north end of the property and ride down trails and into wetland areas. Mike, our wonderful groomer, has done a remarkable job of repairing trails. All trails are open. Firm skate lanes. Set, deep classical tracks.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
4-5 inches of new heavy, wet snow overnight. Groomers have been out and rolled. We are experiencing more heavy snow coming down now with potential for more. Skate lanes have been set. Groomer will set classical tracks in the morning or after snow lets up. Very windy. Parking lots are icy.

A million thanks to the grooming crew for making the best with what has proven to be a difficult winter with freeze/thaw cycles. I had an excellent ski playing on both skate and classical tracks. The classic tracks are fast and fun. I used a universal klister and it worked fine even for the variable conditions encountered in protected vs. sunny areas.

All trails are in great shape at this beautiful place to ski. The groomers did a nice job of packing the foot of snow they had to work with. Things were pretty soft out there but should firm up nicely.

Classic skied last night on the lit trails, that extra couple inches of snow has made the tracks in nearly pristine shape. For the amount of snow we have, that is about the best we can expect the trails to be in - hats off to the groomers for an excellent job.

Two-three inches of fresh, fluffy snow overnight and into this morning. Freshly groomed. Skate lanes are little soft but may firm up tomorrow. Classic track set. No debris showing. Deep track.

Just a dusting of snow from last night was enough to cover up leaves in the track for classic skiing. Conditions were very good for the amount of snow we have.
