Awesome trails. Grooming crew was just leaving the parking lot when I came out of the woods. The trails are just perfect. Great tracks all the way around. Great job by the groomers! Happy New year! Fire up!

Perfect back country conditions with at least 12 inches on the trail. One skied in loop on the east from 1 to 5, 6, 7, 8 and back to parking lot. Clear deep track going counter clock wise. More jumbled tracks going for the short ski from parking lot to 8 and then back. It was a magical scenery day.

Just enough fresh fluff for a fresh track to be set. Conditions are still wonderful and the weather is still prime for a nice ski through the National Forest. All sections open.
