Skied down from South Wirth onto Brownie and over to Cedar. A few places were some material was exposed, but once on the lakes the coverage is pretty good. A couple of wet/ice sections that you can ski around. The tunnel between Brownie and Cedar was well covered. Skate deck on Brownie was holding up fairly well, but on Cedar it had turned to mashed potatoes by late afternoon. Classic tracks looked better, mainly due to the high touring traffic.

Groomed for skate skiing on Isles and Cedar, could not set tracks yet for classic but hopefully by tomorrow. There is enough snow on the lakes except for some slushy areas, and the bridges are all ice, although Eric Sumner spent several hours to get snow into Brownie tunnel and was also working on the other bridges.

The tunnel between Brownie Lake and Cedar Lake is now snow covered. It will take some packing to firm up, but you no longer need ice skates to get through.

I was so excited to see the Loppet grooming crew out this morning on the lakes! We’ll have a great deck soon!

Walked around Cedar lake to see if it was ready for skiing, but it not groomed for classic or skate yet.
