A short portion of the trail was groomed for skating. Most of the trail was covered with a couple of inches of light fluffy snow. One other classic skier preceeded me and needed to get out of the classic track to climb and descend. Very slow.

Skate lane was re-groomed and is in great condition. Some scattered leaf and various tree debris is on the surface. Well-used classic track remains in place. Outer 2K loop is in better overall condition than the lighted loop that sees more skier traffic.

Pine Valley had been partially groomed Wednesday after the snow. The second half of the system was not groomed yet but the lit loop was. However the second half was still skiable as new snow had fallen on a groomed trail. Good firm classic tracks with full coverage, just the occasional leaf in the track. Pole plants were soft at times with the new snow. Skate deck was fairly firm but starting to get a bit chopped up on the uphills. Full coverage across the board with good grooming!

Very good skiing this afternoon, nice classic tracks, wide skate lane. Most skiers are using good skis, just a few small areas of minor tree debris and thin areas where grooming churned up stuff. There is a high school race that starts at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 4, so plan ahead. Course preparation will take place during the day.

I skied the White Pine trail. Classic tracks are medium deep and there was some debris from the trees. The trail is in good condition. You can stay in the classic track and the skate deck is hard. Good ski, even at -4 degrees.
