Groomed Columbia today and it is soft but beautiful. Additional grooming will help out, but aside from the cold it's fun to have!

Groomed Columbia tonight and the new snow was welcome. Groomed the skate deck but left the classic tracks alone. It looks good out there. Enjoy!

Beautiful morning at Columbia! Skied the classic track. Firm deck all the way through. Minimal bare spots. It was a great morning!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
I groomed at Columbia this evening and it is in really good shape right now. There are some easily avoidable thin spots and a little drifting, but the skate deck is smoothing out nicely, and the classic tracks are deep and solid almost everywhere. It's ready for your Sunday ski!

Classic tracks were fantastic. I've been waiting to get my first ski of the season in and the trails were awesome today. Thank you Jim!

Grooming

Groomed and set tracks at Columbia this morning. The conditions are overall good. There are a few thin spots and damp spots, but generally avoidable. We are in pretty good shape in regards to being able to maintain good skiing for the foreseeable future. Enjoy!

Morning
Observation Scheduling 
[ Trails: Closed, Rock skis ]
The trail is currently not groomed, so if you plan to head to Columbia, be prepared to set your own tracks today. Grooming plans: The Columbia groomers will be setting the trail Saturday morning in an effort to let the snow firm up and set for best long term skiing. The trail will not be groomed today.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Columbia is looking OK today. Smoothed out the skate deck this morning, too thin for classic tracks. The snow is very thin, and there are grass spots here and there, but very skiable, However, rock skis are recommended.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Groomed Columbia tonight and it is thin, but very skiable. The dusting this morning helped. I would recommend rock skis, but thanks to William and Mike there is a full course.

Night
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Not all heroes wear capes, some carry shovels. Groomers were out late tonight moving an impressive amount of snow onto bare spots. Their efforts make the trails continuously skiable, but rock skis are necessary. There are few hairy spots, notably some exposed gravel and asphalt near the rail bridge. Thank you groomers!
