I skied the green, most of the purple and a bit of the red this morning. The trails were freshly groomed with complete coverage. The skate deck was soft but not slushy. The only spot that looked like it may have been thin was on the green trail, at the power line. It appeared to have been patched with snow. The classic track appeared to have been freshly groomed; it was generally in good condition. Thanks again groomers for a job well done.

All loops were groomed and new classic track was set this morning. The windfall across the red loop was also removed. I skated all loops this morning. With sunshine and temps above freezing the snow warmed up quickly. As I was finishing the skate deck was getting sticky and will likely get softer this afternoon. I used the track for most downhills and for double poling on the flat areas. The track was faster than the skate deck for the most part.

Skated all loops this morning. The timely grooming of skate decks last evening has provided the best skiing of the season. Think magic carpet ride. The classic track has been worked over a bit and will need to be re set this evening. There is a tree down across the first portion of the red loop.

Winter has returned, arrived actually, to Greenbush, USA. I skied all trails this morning. It's the best classic track of this ski season. The skate decks are soft but coverage throughout is excellent.

Classic skied the purple and red. Track is consistent throughout the system without debris. Skate deck is soft. We are fortunate to have such good conditions.

Skied the brown trail, and parts of the red, green, and purple trails. All trails freshly groomed and tracked. Greenbush got about 4-5" snow. Skate deck is very soft and spongy. Very little debris on the trails. Slow conditions.

Skied Brown and Purple. Classical. No tracks made for a slippery ski, with icy stuff underneath the new snow.

I skied the purple and brown trails twice this afternoon. The icy snow that fell yesterday made for some very nice skate skiing today. The trails were not groomed, but they really didn't need to be. There is no classic tracks.

The trails that have been groomed are pretty clear of fallen branches and I didn't do any noticeable damage to my bases. The Inner trails are in the best condition. The outer trail near the marsh is very icy and the groomers have not able to break it up. I decided to avoid that area after skiing on it once. It would be worth the trip warm up.
