Lots of leaves and sticks on the trail from yesterday's wind. All trails groomed and new track is now set. B skis due to small sticks and leaves incorporated into the snow/trail.

2.5 inches of snow yesterday. Groomed all trails and set a new track. Very windy still after grooming. Some open areas will likely have blowing snow fill the classic tracks.

I skied outer loop and conditions were great. Tracks were deep and firm with very few blowouts. Ten cars in the lot but the tracks were still crisp.

My best classic ski this season. Freshly groomed, deep tracks, very few leaves. And just two of us on the entire trail system. Beautiful.

One inch of new snow the last few days. Groomed all trail segments and set new tracks. Leaves that were in old tracks have been covered with new grooming, but that won't last until others blow in.

No new snow at time of grooming. Set fresh tracks until track setter issues developed. Did not groom Shelter Trail (better to set a good track than a poor one). Snow and wind started at end of grooming.

Tracks set last Saturday are very much skiable. No new snow so leaves are present in areas and relatively few oak and ironwood leaves in other areas. Great skiing in the mild weather!

3/4 inch of new snow last night. Groomed all trails with the 84" ginzu groomer so the trail is packed wider than before. Also getting the upper hand on the drifts on Overlook Trail. More leaves than one likes to see.

3.5 inches of new powder. Classic tracks set on all trails. Had to plow thru 8" drifts in areas so it will be soft in those areas (Overlook Trail).

We got skiing today around noon and got in about 11 k. The kick was pretty good, I had a layer of polar melded in with the base wax, 2 layers of light green on top with a thin layer of blue to top it off. Trails were well-groomed, tracks are still a bit thin, but were sturdy. There was some debris here and there, but it was generally easy to avoid. I was comfortable enough on my good skis, just keep your eyes peeled for debris and one or two thinner spots on the hills. Overall, a great afternoon for skiing!
