Double tracked the Bally Creek Road up to the Moose Rub loops. Groomed the Moose Rub loops for the first time. Grooming Plans: We will look to groom the Connector to Cascade Stae Park in the coming weeks.

Followed the groomers on nice freshly tracked snow. Wonderful snow conditions. Icy in a small portion of trees, and slightly windblown on the road.

Groomed all of the main trails today. Lots of wind, please anticipate that some of the trails may be windblown in spots, especially on the roads. Grooming plans: Anticipating grooming the northeastern loops for the first time beginning tomorrow.

We received 2-3" of fresh snow overnight. The core trails were groomed today. Excellent skiing conditions right now! Grooming plans: We hope to begin tracking the NE Moose Rub trails and the connector Trail to Cascade State Park in the next couple of weeks.

Fresh 4" or so to work with from over the weekend. Core trails were groomed and the deep snow on the NE moose rub were snowmobile packed in an effort to roll and track them soon. It was a little warm while grooming but the track should harden overnight.

Great conditions considering the weather. Wonderful grooming job. Tracks were holding up despite the warmer weather. Slow, slightly sticky snow. It was 33 degrees at the end.

We set a track on all the trails that were rolled yesterday, so everything except Connector and Northeast loops. Everything groomed is in excellent shape. Grooming plans: We hope to start breaking trail on those sections soon now that we have more snow.

Plowed the road and parking area, packed and rolled all the main trails with hopes to set tracks with the groomer on Tuesday. Another 8" of fresh powder overnight brings the base back up to about a foot and no bare ground showing anywhere.

We rolled and set tracks on the main body of trails today, so all trails except the connector and northeast loops. About 7-8" of base to work with and the tracks shaped up very nicely for some New Year's skiing.

Skied much of the system which was a winter wonderland after an inch plus of new snow this morning which covered up whatever windblown tree debris existed before. The grooming was about a week old on most of the system and the northwest loops were only skier tracked, but there was enough snow that lack of a packed base did slowed me down but provided no real obstacles. But conditions were excellent. Glide was great and green wax provided the perfect kick. More snow than I expected.
