Most parts skied fast on the uphill to the magic carpet there are very icy parts but overall not bad. Very fast though and the classic track conditions are good 3/4 of the man made loop open. Get out there.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]

We are not done yet..... but the end is near. The Pisten bully was out early this morning grooming the man made loop. The skate deck should be in good condition. New classic track was set and is thin in some areas and full depth in others. Enjoy spring skiing. We will continue to groom as conditions allow.

Fair conditions for skate and stride. Surface snow is slushy and rutted, but the ruts are soft and break down easily. Tracks are slushy and breaking down. Best areas are in the woods. Downhills are slow.

I scratched up the skate deck of the man made loop this morning. Conditions should be good this morning and will likely soften up as the day goes on. I left the tracks as is. They looked a little icy but should also soften up as it gets warmer.

Excellent conditions for skate and stride. A perfect layer of soft snow on a firm flat base made for easy and fast skating. Deck is generally clean with only one spot of pine boughs. Tracks are solid with a white base and very fast. Magic Carpet is especially nice - fast, with plenty of loose snow. Get it while it lasts.

The Pisten bully was out overnight grooming the man made trail. The skate deck was tilled and is in great condition. New classic track was set and is full depth. The tail end spur was not groomed. The north west corner of the meadow loop is now closed for the season.

Very good conditions for skate and stride. Basically, like skiing the Birkie Trail this past weekend, without the downhill terror. Solid ice base with a shallow surface layer of finely crushed ice, with a fair amount of dust and debris mixed in. Tracks are generally solid with an icy base. Summerstage downhill is fast, but controllable. Magic Carpet downhill is very nice with a layer of powder for easy control.

Mark was out and did a great job working up the trail to break up the ice and cover a few icy spots. I was out overnight and tilled all the skate deck and playground area. Tracks were set and are full depth on all trails. Tracks may have an icy base in areas. Tailend and north section of field loop are closed due to a few bare spots. Overall trails are in very good condition. Enjoy these spring conditions! Trails are open as of 6am Tuesday!

Observation Scheduling [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
|
The Piston Bully will be out on the man-made loop throughout the day today trying to move some snow around and get the trail in skiable condition again. We are recommending that skiers stay off until Tuesday night to give the groomers a chance to move snow around, get everything groomed up and let it set up on top of an icy base.

Arrived at 8:00 today Tuesday. Very icy and rough. Great base yet thanks to the snowmakers. Will try again early afternoon and hopefully warmer temps will soften things.
