Really nice ski at Bally Creek! The one inch plus snow in the morning made for a perfect ski! The groomer was out yesterday setting tracks and those ski trails that were not groomed yet were also good as we could go in the tracks with the snow in them. We loved skiing in this kind of trail-single track through beautiful woods! The only place at Bally Creek that we would stay away from is the Biddle Boys trail as the tracks were not set on the downhill and due to narrow trails it was not a pleasant experience!

Skied most of the Bally Creek Trails today, my first time this season. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was compared to what I was expecting. The grooming was better that I have experienced in years. Tracks were firm, and surprisingly given the freeze thaw cycles we have been thru were not glazed. Coverage was very good except for some stubble. Most of the trails seemed to have a wider and firmer groom (good enough for double poling) than I was expecting and all were groomed. The ski down to Cascade State Park system was even skier groomed which I have not seen in years (Did not ski this portion of trail but tracks went down it and came out at the bottom on Pike Lake Road). Make sure to make a donation in the donation box in the parking lot.

Lots of fresh snow. Tracks were set on the southern trails, but we were pushing through fresh snow for several miles on the upper trails, especially north of the pond. Saw fresh packing and smelled like we just missed the snowmobile on the way out in the afternoon. Looks like lots of fresh grooming for new year's day. Empty parking lot when we started around 11-- full when leaving around 3!
