Viewed the south end of the trail form the Holy Cross trailhead. Track is visible and the trail had been recently skied. The base is firm and overall the trail looked good.

The entire trail was groomed and tracked. We were able to flatten and pack the crusted snow. The track did not set very well, however. Skiing may be fair at best and expect the track to be slippery.

Volunteers continue to make progress on trail cleanup after the rain and heavy snow earlier this week. The far north loop (Red Loop on map) has been cleared, groomed and tracked for classic skiing. This loop is in very good shape. All trail segments are open but this is the only section groomed at this time.

Viewed the trail from the Hicks Landing trailhead. Two skiers had just finished skiing the north loop. They commented that even after the recent warm weather, the track held up well and was very firm. The dusting of snow since the thaw has really helped. In the open areas, the track was blown in some but was mostly visible and easy to follow.

The entire trail system was groomed and tracked. The track set great and the trail is in very good shape.

Brush and debris were cleared from trail and entire trail system was groomed. The southern loop was tracked but, due to equipment break down, track was not set on the remaining trail segments. Conditions on the southern loop, which has been tracked for classic skiing, is fair but there is some grass sticking up through the snow in some areas. The remainder of the trail is firm packed but in poor condition for skiing.

The trail system is open but no grooming has taken place yet this year. The 3 to 5" of snow received over the past several days has created a beautiful landscape for you to break your own snowshoe or ski trails.
