There were 1-2 inches of fresh powder over a solid base in the skating lanes. There was excellent control and very good glide. This was the best ski I have had this winter. The only problem was minor debris at the start of the trail. The diagonal tracks were unused so possibly slow.

All trails were groomed and tracked today after a couple of inches of new snow. The new snow allowed further filling of ruts and in most cases eliminating them completely. There are still oak leaves and pine needles on the trails in certain locations. Overall the trails are in very good condition.

What a beautiful ski! The crusty snow had a thin layer of fresh snow. Downhills are icy but striding was great. A great opportunity to ski without a long drive north. All ground thoroughly covered with snow. Oak leaves and pine needles only at the trail beginning.

High wind left debris on lower portions of the trail. About one inch of new powder made conditions skiable, especially on the upper portions of the trail. There was some crust under the powder, but overall skiing was okay.

Conditions improved with increasing distance from trailhead. Much less debris and near pristine fast trail once you get out there. Kirby Hills Trail, the one with the huge hills with lots of vertical and curve, is groomed and very skiable - it's a little slick, but snowplowing is very possible if someone wants it. No problem edging on the steep climbs. It's awesome to see this epic trail segment survive and still get groomed, rather than become a memory.

Acorns and oak leaves embedded in snow under some of the oaks was the only negative. All the other 95% of the trail was fantastic. Thanks to groomer for great job eliminating ruts.

All trails were groomed and re-tracked today. We were able to break up a good potion of the icy top layer to set a good skate lane. There are oak leaves on portions of the trails. Per usual, we could use some more snow to help fill in the low and icy spots that formed from the previously wet weather. Most sections of the trails are in good skiing condition.

Terrible conditions. Trails were nearly all ice with a lot of debris. Surface was also uneven which made it very difficult to stay upright and certainly not enjoyable. Falling hurt on the hard surface. One lap and I was out.

Conditions were great, the groomer did a great job with the skate tracks after Monday's snow of 5-6 inches. Temperatures in the 20's created a fast skate track, have fun!
