Skied with my wife and talked to a couple of other skiers we all agreed they were very nice. Could use a new grooming.

Only second time on skis this year. Sunday 10:30 AM, sunny and 35 degrees. Did the East trails from 1 to 5 to 4 and back. Stayed in the woods to avoid the sun. Very little debris as the winds picked up it is well sheltered. Some glazing in tracks in spots but the sun had not become an issue yet as it was just starting to hit sections at 11. and I was out by 11:30 just as it was softening a bit. Only one couple when I came there and no one when I left. Good timing!

Great conditions for any time, but extraordinary given the warm temperatures. Most of the trails are primarily in the shadows of dense trees. Cold crystals still on the tracks on the lesser used trails on the north and west end of the system. Trail debris almost non existent. Very little grab and go down warm snow and the slightly glazed tracks on the way back made the long gradual downhills exhilarating. Groomers have provided extra wide flat trail for the the steep sections in north west black trails making snow plowing much more reliable for this old man. Thank you and blessings. Coming back tomorrow. A perfect day!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Trails are once again in pristine condition. After a few more inches of fresh snow we groomed and set new track on all segments of the trail. With lots of sun in the forecast its going to be one of the best weeks/weekends of the winter to be out on the trail enjoying the scenery and wildlife.

Skied the old back yard today. Fresh 4" made the going slow but gorgeous. Big Aspen will always be one of my favorites.

Debris from trees made trails tricky. Could be better with more snow. Groomed. Great weather lately, cloudy and calm.

All trails are excellent, well groomed, little to no debris. This place is gorgeous, serene, and worth the trip. Snow here has fabulous base.

Had a great day grooming yesterday, the hoar frost was spectacular! Met some skiers out there too - thanks for all the positive feedback. I really enjoy grooming and I'm glad you're having a great time skiing!

Amazing conditions out on the trail! The 10-12 new inches of snow over the weekend have been groomed and tracks are set on all sections of the trail. Main parking lot is plowed out. Beautiful view from the scenic overlook.

The parking lot was plowed, but the trails were not groomed unfortunately. The woods were beautiful.
