Outstanding conditions today. All trails appear to be Piston Bully groomed with deep set classic tracks. With a fair amount of new snow the skate deck appeared a little soft but should firm up. Virtually no debris on trail. Good job groomers!

Conditions are the best they've been all season. Tracks are deep and stiff and skate deck is firm while also forgiving enough to tap the brakes. Great glide and consistent kick with skin skis. One of those days when I feel like if it was the last time I ever skied I would die happy.

Skied North Advanced Monday and Tuesday, deck was soft but classic tracks were great, not too sticky. Skied snowmen and west overlook Wednesday, Pisten Bully was out and grooming, snow was getting pretty sticky by the end of the ski around 2 pm, but still doable.

Absolute beautiful 100% snow cover with the recent 6" of snow (in town), always more "over the hill". It was all freshly groomed but soft yet, and slow for my skis. But what nice, now midwinter conditions!

New Snow Last 24 hours: 6 inches. New Snow Last 7 days: 6 inches. Trail Base: 6-8 inches. Surface Conditions: Excellent. Comments: All trails are groomed for classic and skate style skiing. This is the first run with the Pisten Bully for the season! Last night's snow event gave us some dense cover. Trails are in beautiful shape, although the deck is on the soft side. Enjoy.
