Hartley is skiing well. As expected it is very firm, but not icy. The tracks are super solid and fast. We skied 20k and our extra blue kick wax was still working at the end, even though it was a bit worn off under the heal. Oh what a PistenBully can do, thanks City groomers!

Hartley was groomed on Tuesday. Both the inner and outer loops are in good shape with tracks in tact throughout the system. The grooming did a good job of bringing some old snow to the surface, as well as covering up some debris. I used skin skis and had decent kick in fast tracks.

As of 7:45AM, Hartley has not been groomed since the freeze-up, but I expect that it will happen soon. During my ski, tracks were quite icy as was any snow surface. If you can keep the wax on your skis, it is possible to ski the inner loop where the elevation changes are minimal without killing yourself. There is some tree material in the trail and tracks as well. I did not attempt the outer loop.

Went out in the evening with a headlamp. Was very icy. Skied the whole thing but walked down the back hill on the outer loop. Would suggest waiting until it is groomed again.

Hartley had been groomed since I had previously skied it 48 hrs ago. Tracks still had the freshly-groomed feel and extended fully up every hill. Hardly any tree debris in tracks at all. Getting fast out there...My easy ski once around the system was almost 10% faster than is typical, with heart rate the same. Great kick too. Pretty much perfect conditions.

Come and get it! Great conditions at Hartley on a blue wax morning. Light dusting of overnight snow in the tracks. I don't know when it had last been groomed but tracks were fairly deep and crisp. Pretty solid tracks and no iciness. Only one problematic pine tree dropping needles into the track on the entire system, and hardly a dropped oak leaf to be found. A great place for a recovery ski.

Beautiful ski at night by headlamp with the fresh snow. All of the trails were groomed but the tracks were thin and in poor condition.

The track is still set well, but I was surprised at the amount of leaves, needles, and twigs on the trail. If you are on waxable skis, plan on spending time cleaning up debris from your skis when you are done.

Walked up to the bottom of the trail system. The groomer had been through and the tracks looked firm and deep: absolutely glorious, looks like a few people had been through but still pristine. I would have skied here but needed a skate day.

As of 5:30 PM Hartley was not groomed but maybe that is for the best, as the wind that came up this evening is going to drift areas and blow some tree debris down. When I arrived at least one set of skied-in tracks were available, sometimes two, throughout the system. On my second pass, there were places where the tracks were almost blown over from the blowing snow, but most of it was holding up pretty well for skier-generated tracks.
