Close to 8" snow over the last three days. Trail was snowmobile packed and groomed with the Tidd. Track was set and should firm up with cold temps.

Yesterday's snow measured 4" but windy conditions made for irregular density. Skate deck is a little soft and tracks are a bit shallow.

Nice morning on Manka with above zero temps and the sun trying to peak through. Tracks are set and skate deck groomed with multiple passes to compact a light snow.

We received 3+ inches of snow yesterday followed by a light mist last night. The crust mixed nicely with the new snow to produce a very nice base. Tracks and skate deck look really good and will set up nicely with overnight lows.

Even though we only received about an inch of snow yesterday, near blizzard conditions caused considerable drifting on the west exposure of the trail. Multiple passes were required shape up the packed snow. The wind blown snow on the remainder of the trail made for a less than perfect corduroy and a slightly shallow track set. Conditions should be very skiable if you brave the cold the next few days.

Groomed and tracked after a light snowfall. Manka continues to see steady use despite the recent cold snap.

We received a couple of inches of wind driven snow yesterday. The west exposure from the college property was completely drifted. Groomed and tracked and ready to go. Cold temps tonight should set up the deck.

Trail was groomed and tracked in the afternoon when the wind picked up. About an inch of new snow fell overnight and there was some drifting from the college property. Manka continues to see a lot of use.

With a lot of use and an inch or two of snow overnight, a touch up was needed. The deck set up nicely after the big dump last week. The trails looks great!
