Washburns deck was refurbished and new tracks are in place. There will be no morning grooming to clean up form this evenings light snowfall. However, the trail should be brushed tomorrow evening in preparation for skiing on Sunday.

The entire Washburn trail system was reset this morning. Cold temperatures should spell a hard deck and firm classic tracks.

Excellent early season conditions. I skied classic, and the track and poles plants were firm. Skate looked a little lumpy, but certainly skiable. Looks like a lot of hard work by the groomers clearing trees and rolling/setting track.

Washburn's grooming has been coming along nicely. Grooming plans: All trail segments should be ready for all skiers by Saturday. Even for tomorrow the trails are a go, but there could be a few soft spots (remember we got lots of snow). We will be putting the final touches on tomorrow afternoon/evening, and coming back on Saturday afternoon/evening to refurbish the deck.

As of this morning about 50% of the system is groomed and tracked. We were able to pack and roll a few more segments, so that by Friday, about 95% of the system should be open. Only the landfill loop remains untouched. We are planning on taking care of that early next week.

With the amount of snow received in the last week and the amount of storm damage, the grooming process has been slow. About 50% of the system has been packed and rolled. That 50% is skiable, but not the best. Tomorrow's plan is to set the deck and classic tracks. We will contiune to work the remainin portion of the trail system. We're hoping to have all of it up and running by Friday. There is still a lot to pack and clean up.
