Surprisingly skiable. Yesterday's snow covered the few open spots. There's a skied-in track throughout, and most of the walkers have not walked on it. The easy loop has better snow than the hillier loop but they're both skiable. You never have to take off your skis as long as they're not your favorite skis. There are a couple of trees down, including one at the bottom of the little hill between H and I.

Well, we skied Hartley today and it was 100% covered, with a mixture of ice, footprints, and more underneath, none of which was an issue. The Atomic skins clumped, the zero's clumped, the Fisher Twin skins had the most amazing glide! Lots of snow left there, based on the deep footprints we were able to see! Of course the usual places near the pines and where water runs were probably bare prior to the new inch or two.

Fun, slow slush skiing. There's still a lot of snow - just one bare patch you can't ski around. Watch out for a hidden open spot on Hartley's only significant hill. You can't see it until you're just about upon it. There's a pretty good skied-in track throughout. Lots of boot and dog prints but still very skiable. The crust off trail was skiable when I was there, too.

Sticky and melty, but still quite skiable. Only saw one other recent set of ski tracks. Not groomed recently. Skis sunk in a few places, making it feel more like snowshoeing.

Warmer-than-expected overnight temperatures, but the ground is cold enough that it still froze up pretty solid on the Hartley trail system. Surprisingly good, even for hard wax skiing. Tracks are still quite deep. Tracks on about 40% of the system are glazed pretty good. The good news is that the glazed tracks are usually on the flats and downhill areas where it is fast enough to double pole, with grippy snow on most uphills yet. The corners where there are no tracks or skied-out tracks are luckily not yet transformed into ice, so control was much greater than expected. Tree material in the tracks is surprisingly minimal, especially considering the time of year and Saturday's wind. The steep downhill is icy, but a good snowplow will slow you sufficiently to be able to make the corner where the snow again becomes powdery. Fast enough to fit in an extra loop into your daily ski!

Tracks are deep, firm, and not at all washed out. Some spots that have seen sun have a little ice in the tracks, you can hear it when you go over it. But those spots are quite short, I don't think the ice took any of my blue wax off. A little slowdown in some spots where pine needles and pine twigs are mixed into the snow, again, pretty isolated. Very few leaves in the tracks considering the recent winds. Some boot prints on the trails, but nothing that affects the quality of the skiing.
