Fair conditions, but better than expected. No grooming. About 1-2” of fresh snow on top of a very thin packed base. Lots of sticks and bark showing, but didn’t encounter rocks. No ice. We skied 80% of the Teuton trails. Had a nice time!

Classic skied all of the trails on the Teuton side last night and again this afternoon, they are in fair condition after the thaw and rain. The trails look to have been groomed before the rain, which has frozen into a decent base, with a few thin spots, and 2+ inches of fresh snow on top. I used rock skis, and definitely hit a few things, but 90% or more of the trails look like the photo. No grooming since the fresh snow, but varying degrees of skied in tracks on all the trails. Blue hardwax has been kicking fine except for one or two icy spots.

We classic skied the B loop of the Valkrie trail from 1-2PM today and it was really nice. Not deep enough to set tracks yet but they had groomed it after the light snow (jealous of you guys down south right now) and there was definitely enough coverage for good skis today.
