Very good conditions for skate and stride on the snowmaking loops. Overnight grooming included new tracks, which are generally firm but breaking down in the warm temps. Some debris in a few places, due to the wind. Downhills are generally slow. Skiers take note - keep your trailhead snow white and dirt-free by avoiding the mud near the edges, especially by the ski racks. Use the sidewalk, keep your boots clean, and preserve the snow.

Overnight I reset the tracks and the skate deck with the Piston Bully on the manmade loop. There is some debris in the trail by the pines but it's not real bad.

The skate deck conditions were great as reported by the groomer earlier today. The 31 degree temperature make my ski more enjoyable. The new ski lodge was nice to meet ski friends. It was my 15th time this season at Lapham and they all had good conditions.

Very good conditions for skate and stride on the snowmaking loops. Skate deck has just enough loose snow on a firm, flat base for easy skating, with no sugar snow. Tracks are well worn and a little glazed; fast but not icy. Magic Carpet is fast, but easily controllable.

Everything was groomed with the Ginzu early this morning. The skate deck on the man-made trail is in great shape. The upper trails were groomed as well; they are thin in spots and rocks are poking through in sunny areas. I suggest B skis on the upper trails and good skis on the man-made. Grooming plans: The classic track is worn out and will be relaid with the PistenBully tonight. Please use caution on the Purple trail, as the machine that we use to groom with is broken down in the middle of the trail. Enjoy it while you can.

The Pisten bully was out early this morning tilling in the 1-2" of new snow we received at the park last night. The skate deck was tilled and is in great condition. A new classic track was set throughout the man made loops. The playground was groomed as well. It should be a nice day to ski at the park. Still not enough snow for the Pisten to groom off the man made snow.

Excellent conditions for skate and stride on the snowmaking loops. A little slower early due to the groomed-in new snow from yesterday, but speeding up as the day progressed. Lots of skiers on the trails, enjoying a perfect ski day. Magic Carpet was particularly nice, with an easy gliding, smooth surface.

(John McCarthy)

All the manmade trails and playground area is freshly groomed and in very good condition. New tracks were set around the entire manmade trail system also. Nothing was touched off the manmade snow.

Variable conditions for skate, good conditions for stride on the snowmaking loops. The loops were not groomed by the Pisten Bully overnight, but park staff ran the Ginzu around in the morning to pack the new 1-inch of wet snow on the skate deck. The tracks were left from Wednesday, and were softening due to the new snow and the rising temps. The skate deck was transforming as skiers flattened it in some places and churned it up in others. Best skating is on the Woods Loop, but the descent down Magic Carpet is very slow.

I groomed the skate deck of the man made loop this morning and left the tracks as is. The fresh inch or so of snow that we got is making conditions a little on the slower side but should still be good skiing. I also combed the new snow on the rest of the lighted loop and the purple trail. These are still very thin, but skiable, and I would not use your best skis. It is still too thin to reset track off the man made, but the old tracks are still visible in most spots and should be ok once the get skied in.
