Full coverage at Hartley and skied in tracks. We used our good skis with no issues...totally debris free tracks too! Thankfully the trails were footprint free and just one set of dog tracks.

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!

Skied like mid-January with a fresh groom, thick base, and subzero temps. Abrasive but not icy snow, just about anything will kick in the low temps. Thank you groomers!

Freshly groomed, absolutely perfect. Just a little debris here and there. Made for a happy time despite the windy bluster.

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.

At least 4-5" of fresh snow out there at around 2:15 this afternoon. A few other brave souls meandered their way through the system before me, otherwise it was ungroomed. Super excited for some fresh tracks here in the next few days! Thanks to all the city groomers!

After the high winds of Friday, regrooming is needed in sections, but skiers made there own tracks where necessary. A lot of debris had blown into the tracks, both leaves and pine needles, which made it a great day for skins.

First time at this nice little city trail. It was groomed and tracked Sunday and still in very good condition. Nice scenery and woods. Classic-only trail with double tracks set.

There is a tree down across trail on the Outer loop, close to Old Hartley Rd area. Old tree, exploded on trail leaving about 20 yards worth of sticks. Impassable unless you want to wade in the snow.
