Skied this afternoon. No tracks set, but all trails had been groomed. Did not do woods course, but the rest of the trails were beautiful. Thank you Jerry for keeping the trails so nice.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle Secondhand 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Soft new snow as expected. Lot not yet plowed. Jerry was out grooming and clearing trails of downed trees and branches. Indicates any help in clearing debris is appreciated. Should be in great condition as snow settles and temps stabilize. Scenery was fantastic - always a bonus.

Another amazing November ski (day 3) at Fox Hill/CLCF! Skied this late morning all that was groomed-about half the system. Reality is the packed snow depth is only 1/2 to 3/4' but its so perfectly groomed that skiing is almost in mid-season condition. Grooming primarily on the grassy sections so little to no risk to good skis (however, mine had 1989 Birkie stickers on them). West loops/Woods/Corkscrew all closed. Get it while you can before it warms up.

A second day of remarkable early season skiing at CLCF. Skied about an hour in upper and lower fields. Used B skis with vigilance on thin base with few breakthroughs. Grateful to Jerry Gensch for grooming efforts and to be out skiing in November!

Surprisingly good conditions at Fox Hill this afternoon. Cold temps set the high moisture snow up well. Upper fields, lower fields, and Truck Lane all in good condition. Parking lot had seven cars so a lot of die-hards enjoying that rare November ski on natural snow. Only a few spots where grass just peeks through but mostly very good conditions. Pre-season trail work is paying off and master groomer Jerry worked his magic again!

Grooming

The fields were groomed for skate this morning. Thin conditions but complete coverage. Almost all the trails groomed have grass underneath except for truck lane.
