My wife and I skied from the new parking lot on V trail this afternoon and found the skiing to be very good with just a few soft spots and some soft pole plants. She skied classic and I skated on slow skis in the 13F degree temperature. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. The classic tracks looked and skied great and the skate deck looked awesome but it didn't ski as good as it looked. With these conditions this early who's complaining? Not us.

We rolled and Ginzu groomed all trails except for H today and after the 10 inches of snow in the last couple days we are now at midwinter conditions with excellent coverage throughout. The new upper parking lot is being plowed and we will work with the plow guy to dial things in for easy access to the trail. The new access trail is designated V trail and allows skiers to reach the upper flat loops like Y and W without having to climb or descend the big hills leading to and from the Lodge parking lot.

We now have all trails open except for H trail that goes through the swamp. We will need quite a bit more snow and cold temps before attempting that. Typical early season conditions. Very good coverage overall with nice deep tracks throughout.
