Great skiing at Greenbush today. Temperatures were just below freezing. Very good conditions. A stick here, a leaf there, and an occasional dirty spot, but overall very nice. It looked like the trail was groomed earlier in the morning or last evening. The classic track had some dirty spots but at least there is one.

Classic Tracks were in great shape. Skating deck looked good. Snow was a little soft due to warm temperature and half inch of snow during very early hours of morning.

Great trail today! Greenbush received another 3” of snow. The groomer was out for several hours
packing and grooming the trail. I believe a classic track was being set. When I left at 2PM the trails were primo! Thanks Jeff!

Skied the purple trail twice this morning. I am a newbie to xc skiing and I was happy to see the trails were groomed when I arrived. Thank you, groomers! Some leaves, sticks etc on the trail and the snow seemed “soft” to me. First time around the trail was in better shape than the second. Definitely sunk down in areas. Hopefully we will get more snow soon!

Greenbush got 3 inches of new snow from the so-called major storm system that was forecast to deliver 6 to 10 inches. According to my meteorologist, we dodged a bullet. I guess I can remove the candle, flashlight and blanket from my car. Anyways, the groomers did a great job with minimal snow. There is no track set at this time.

Just enough snow in the kettle! Was groomed this morning and was firming up with time and use. No tracks for classical. A few spots where I sunk to the icy base on uphills but otherwise good coverage.

Most of the trail system has minimal snow coverage. The Brown trail, Beginner Loop and sledding hill was groomed for our youth ski team practice on Monday night. No tracks We classic skied without tracks. Tuesday night will be a skate ski practice. Occasional dirt and gravel. Rock ski conditions. B skis if you are able to ski around bad spots.

4 inches of new snow. The red and brown trails groomed, no tracks set. Still a pretty good classic ski on both groomed and ungroom trails.

Another snow dusting created surprisingly skiable conditions. Plenty of leaves, pine needles and twigs, but very little dirt except under transmission lines. Backcountry classical skis worked well with temperatures at 22 degrees.

For those of you who have to ski and can't get up north, Greenbush has an ice base with a dusting of snow on top. I classic skied today with waxless, metal-edged skis, primarily on parts of inner loops. Lots of leaves and sticks and some rocks sticking out of base. Training loop near the cabin has the most cover and has been scratched up by groomer in recent days. Time for everyone to crank up the nighttime naked snow dances, as we need some serious snowfall to transform Greenbush back to Nordic Heaven.
