First time here, skied all the trails. The only rough one was Hannah's with whips poking through. All other trails are in excellent condition. We took some time to enjoy the chalet; quiet the training facility there. Powder in the morning, with fast transformed snow by nightfall. The trails survived the warm temps well.

Hidden Valley has all trails open. Deep base and cold temps produced firm skate deck. Machine tracks where appropriate. Mid-winter conditions and (technically) winter's not even here yet.

Great skiing on freshly groomed trails on Saturday. 6+ inch base with more snow added during the day and evening. Tracks were in good shape. Looked like good skating as well. Good start to the season.

Skate skied Birch Highlands, Sommers and Bambas Loops later in the morning. Great firm deck. Classic tracks were set on these trails. The power line and some of the inner trails were groomed including the MYSL loop.

We received a nice snow fall on Wednesday night into Thursday. Trails at Hidden Valley have been groomed and tracks have been laid down on some of the trail. "Rock" skis are not needed. We are a full go at this time. Get out there, ski and enjoy the winter weather!

8+ inches of snow groomed and tracked. Conditions are excellent and should set up nicely over the next couple of days.
