The Pisten bully was out Saturday night grooming the 4" of snow the park received. The skate deck should be in good condition with a few icy spots. New classic tracks were set. The classic tracks are mostly full depth with a few areas of ice. We will see what this upcoming week brings for weather. Most likely this will be our last week of skiing for the year.

Good but variable conditions for skate, fair for stride. Most of the skate deck is a decent layer of sugar snow with some dirty spots and some spots where the cover is thin and the ice base exposed. Very fast, overall. No bare spots. Magic Carpet is easily controllable, but there is an icy spot at the bottom. Tracks are easily broken down and are icy. There has been dirt tracked onto the trail at the trailhead and other locations by foot traffic.

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.

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!
