Mark tried to groom this morning, but the snow was too hard and crusty. The parking lot is icy but the trail has a hard crust and is in good skiing condition as in spring skiing. Skate skied a short distance and some areas the skating deck is uneven but most of the trail is level and in good. Tracks are still present for classic on most of the trail and were fast. More snow is needed before grooming can be done again.

With the warm weather yesterday and not freezing temperatures until 5 a.m. the trail is a little soft and the skate deck is uneven consistency for snowplowing down hills. With the nice temperatures today it was good skiing. For conditions the trail is very skiable but there are leaves and small branches on some areas of the trail. With cold weather predicted tonight, the plan is to groom and track the trail tomorrow morning.

The trail was groomed and tracked and is in very good condition for both skate and classical skiing. With the high winds there are some small branches and oak leaves on some areas of the trail. Merry Christmas!

The trail was groomed and tracked and is in very good condition for both skate and classical skiing. With more snow and wind predicted, we will aim to groom again Saturday.

With 4 inches of fluffy snow last night the trail was groomed and tracked and is in very good condition for both skate and classical skiing.

First time skiing here. What a beautiful location. Plenty of snow coverage - the inner loops were all in good to very good condition with a soft, but level skate deck. The outer, more challenging loop was uneven in many spots, especially the Muskellunge area. Would have rated good skis if not for one exposed rock on east side of outer loop as you climb north. Can't wait to return here once additional grooming levels things out.

The trail was groomed and tracked and is in good to very good condition for both skate and classical skiing. Overhanging branches and brush were removed from the trail from the past snow storm.

After receiving about 6 inches of snow the ski trail was rolled and dragged but not tracked. The whole trail is in good condition for skate skiing and for classical but no tracks. The snowshoe trail was also packed.
