I groomed and set tracks on the entire man-made loop, It is in excellent skiing condition. You can definitely use your good skis on the man-made loop. The DNR is grooming the entire trail system. It is thin in some areas, I would recommend using rocks skis or B that you don’t care if they become rock skis.

Excellent conditions on the manmade snow loops today. Loose layer of snow on a firm base is great for skate. Solid tracks for classic in most locations.

The skate deck was tilled by the Pb on the man made loop. Conditions should be great. The classic tracks were left as is. The whale at the entrance was spread out and the start area was cleaned up. Do to the work done some of the classic track in that area was tilled over. This will be addressed in the coming days.

Excellent conditions for skate and stride. The overnight grooming firmed up the new snow from Friday. I suggest not using your best skis off the manmade snow loops.

People were being turned away from the entrance because of capacity issues. This may be an ongoing issue on the weekends. I understand the conditions are still quite good though.

The entire lighted trail was Piston Bully groomed again Saturday night. The classic tracks were reset and are in excellent condition. The man made loop is in great condition. Conditions off the man made loop are in great condition as well.

Trails were groomed after last nights snowfall, but the heavy usage has churned up the surface, resulting in loose snow on a firm base. Tracks are taking a beating with so many skiers but appear to be holding up. Great conditions combined with nice skiing weather makes for an enjoyable ski day.

The entire lighted trail was groomed by the Piston Bully last night. Classic tracks were reset on the man made loop by the PB. Classic tracks were set off the man made loop by the DNR. Conditions on the man made loop are excellent. Conditions off the man made loop are fair to good with some dirt showing.

5 inches of snow fell on the Lapham Peak trails Saturday with all the trails being groomed last night. The entire trail system is in excellent condition. The man-made and lighted section were tilled with the PistenBully and the tracks were reset. The track off the man-made has been reset as well. Lights will be on until 9:00pm Monday through Saturday nights. As a reminder, there is no hiking/snowshoeing on or along groomed ski trails.

Just another perfect day on the manmade snow loops, which were groomed again overnight. The skate deck is suitable for World Cup competition. The tracks are deep, firm, straight, and formed in natural snow. Excellent.
