Trails are pretty icy with deep grooves in them. I skied for about 10 minutes and then gave up. Hopefully more snow will help.

Skated this afternoon at Columbia Golf Course. Conditions were good for skating. No ice and only a few soft spots where poles were punching through the skate deck. Great late February conditions. Classic tracks looked to be a bit worn and starting to get washed out in a few places, but no bare spots.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomed the skate deck at Columbia this morning. Unfortunately, the groomer's not working properly and won't set tracks right now. We'll try to get some set as soon as we figure out the issue. It's beautiful out there today. Enjoy!

Rolled Columbia this morning. Grooming plan will be to roll it a couple times and then run the groomer once it sets up. Should be great when it's ready.

Grooming

Columbia was rolled this morning. Last night's snow covered up most of the ice -- it's only poking through in two places (both on the east side) that I noticed. The new snow should adhere nicely to the trail in most places, but there are a few areas of glaze ice where it may not stick well. Use caution if you ski today. As the winds pick up we expect quite a bit of drifting as well. We'll keep rolling it until it is firmed up enough to groom.

Like skiing on glass. Spent 10 minutes skiing on the middle of the driving range. Solid surface, no give.

Observation 
[ Trails: Closed, Rock skis ]
While there is still trail coverage, the trail is rock hard ice. Current downhill conditions are treacherous and we do not reccomend attempting to ski. We will not be grooming until a warmer day and will post an update if conditions improve.

Wanted to try one last time before the rain - not as soft as I thought it would be, but great skate skiing on classic skis! I did not do the whole loop. Hoping for more snow. Thanks groomers.

About as good as it could be considering the weather lately. As the groomer said, not much in the way of classic tracks, but the skate deck was generally pretty good. Some sugar on the uphills in the sun and a little more icy in the shade but easy enough to get an edge and the warm weather made the snow pretty fast. Still excellent coverage for 99% of the trail.

Groomed the skate deck and it looks great. Unfortunately, I had to leave most of the tracks in place. It's still too hard to reset the track. It'll be good skating though. Enjoy!
