Fine conditions. The Campground Loop wasn’t groomed but still skiable. There is about 1”-2” of powder over the firm deck. The Superhighway is groomed.

11 above zero! And beautiful blue sky, perfect grooming, all made for a most enjoyable ski Tuesday at Boulder. An old stick of Swix Polar gave great kick, fast wax teal paste yielded excellent glide.

Freshly groomed trail today in very good condition. Skied Lonesome Grouse and Nine Pine and there was very little trail debris. Sunny sky and minimal wind made for a very comfortable outing.

All the trails were groomed today around 12pm. I skied both classic and skate and hit all of the different loops. I was shocked how fast the trails were given the cold temps. All dirt spots have been covered except a few on the logged section of the Nine Pine loop.

Conditions on the North trails at Boulder Lake were pretty darn good this afternoon. I was mostly on the backcountry trails Moose Tracks, Porcupine Pass and Lone Wolf. All had been groomed for snowshoeing recently, and there was 1-2 inches of new snow on top. Moose Tracks is disappearing this afternoon in its treeless parts in the wetland areas. The small part of Otter Run I used was excellent for classic.

Beautiful day with temperature in low 20s and classic track in very good shape after weekend snow and recent grooming. Skied all the south loops from the East parking lot. Bear Paw and Lonesome Grouse were especially nice. Still some partial dirty tracks on Nine Pine where it loops in and out of the logged area but just a few scattered spots.

Freshly groomed this morning - I was out at 10am and I think I was the second person on the trail. I did Lonesome Grouse and Nine Pine and they were wonderful. A bit of debris in the usual places not enough to worry about.

Beautiful lunch time ski. Not freshly groomed but had been skied in by others before us. Sun and some fresh snow made for a great day. Skied everything but the campground loop.

Went on Bear Paw trail. Classic skied. Single trail was groomed and the fresh snow is getting nicely packed down. Gorgeous sunny day for it!
