Nose Lake was retracked today.  If tonight's temperatures drop, the tracks should firm up for some nice a New Year ski.

Surprisingly good conditions. It was 21 degrees when I started, and 27 when I finished. I used Start grip tape on a pair of my B skis and they worked fine. However, using good skis would've been no problem. Hoping it'll be colder and snowy. Either way there's no doubt in my mind the groomers will whip things back in to shape.

Soft and squishy. Plenty of snow, but conditions are obviously heading in the wrong direction with warm weather. Overall very skiable, for now.

Excellent conditions. Previous reports mentioned new grooming equipment, it certainly has made a trail always groomed great even better. Lots of cars in the lot. Nose Lake is a great kick and glide trail. No big hills up or down, just a great cruiser.

We received about 2-3 inches of fluffy snow today. Lots of people out on the trails. Tracks were reset and should be firmer than they were. Was able to dig up some of the older snow with our new, marvelous, fabulous, fantastic, outstanding Ginzu groomer and incorporate into the new snow. When I left, the track at the trailhead was already setup and pretty hard. Should be fabulous conditions tomorrow.

Received another 6 inches of snow today. That gives us about 10+ inches for the week. Along with the previous 2 feet we have received, ski conditions are looking promising. Both loops were rolled and tracked today. Our newly acquired Ginsu groomer laid down a beautiful track. Get out an enjoy this early season treat.

Nose Lake tracks were reset this morning, and should set up nicely with the low temperatures. Conditions should be satiafactory for some good gliding.

Both loops of the trail were tracked this morning. With the mild temperatures expect a the tracks to be a little soft, as well as pole plants. Don't let the deer be the only ones enjoying the trails.

The trail was packed and rolled yesterday and today. The plan is to have tracks set by noon tomorrow. With 2 feet of snow and lots of limbs and trees down, it has been a slow grooming process.
