Just finished grooming the man made loop with the Pb. Tilled the skate deck and set new tracks through out. Even set new tracks on Jerry’s hill. Conditions are pretty good considering temps. Dirt is starting to collect on the trail in areas.

More great spring skiing today on the manmade snow loops. Lower trails, in the sun, were fantastic - fast corn snow on a firm, but not icy, base. Woods trails are more variable, with some dirty spots, some hard packed icy spots, and some slush. Many skiers, especially kids, were enjoying the fun. Lots of bare arms and shoulders, a few shorts, and one skier in a dress shirt and tie to celebrate the beautiful spring weather. Thank you, Park staff, for keeping the grooming going.

Spring skiing at its finest on the manmade snow loops this morning. Initially fast, but transitioning to softer and slower. A couple of dirty spots are the slowest/slushiest. Key is to hit the window between icy and slushy. Tracks are icy but holding up fairly well. Should be more of the same tomorrow, but a little earlier.

Drove 1.5 hours to ski based on previous days reports. Some parts of man made loop was like boiler plate and not safe for the beginner skiers.

Trails are not groomed as of 8:00 AM. The man made looks to have been groomed yesterday, but now it’s rutted and pretty icy. There’s a good base on these trails throughout, so it’s a bit confusing why they’ve given up on the outer trail system. Seems like the other trail systems groom in the morning for spring skiing.

Skated the man-made loop around 8am and conditions were icy and difficult for a beginner. There appeared to be a decent amount of base left, and very little debris that was easily avoidable.

The PB was out this morning with great results. The skate deck tilled up perfectly. The classic tracks were reset and now are on the outside of the man made loop. The snow was nice and clean when I left and there are no bare spots. Good skis can still be used.

Good conditions for skating on the manmade snow loops. Just a touch of loose powder on a very firm base. Softening in the sun as the day progressed. stiff southwest wind. The ski down Magic Carpet is the most fun - fast but easily controllable. Striding tracks looked glazed.

Great conditions on the manmade snow loops. Skate deck is flat with corduroy from grooming last night that is softening in the sun. Fast and fun. New single track looks solid. Get it while it lasts. Note: signs have been placed by the Park staff indicating that some of the trails off the manmade snow loops are closed.

The upper trails at Lapham Peak are closed today due to icy and dangerous conditions. Grooming these trails was impossible after the rain and low temperatures overnight. We will attempt to groom these trails Tuesday as temperatures rise. The man-made trails were groomed by the PistenBully and are in good shape. New track was also set on the man-made trails.
