Ski trails have a base packed. There have been skiers and snowshoers using the trails with the packed base and the new snow. Grooming plans: Ski trail grooming operations will resume after Christmas. The winter storm and winds along with the Christmas holiday led to the decision to wait until Monday, December 26th at the earliest to do the ski trail grooming.

Received 6" of wet heavy snow on Thursday. Groomer went out on Friday after temps dropped some to pack and make a base. Still sections of water and muck from the earlier rain. All trails and sledding hill are packed, however no tracks are cut yet.
