Several inches of new snow have fallen since Sunday. All loops were packed and tracked this morning. There are still a few thin spots and there is some debris, but overall the conditions are good.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
A few days of warm temperatures (especially 50+ degrees yesterday and last night) and very strong winds really took a toll on the trails. The good news is that we didn't lose all of our base - almost the entire trail is still snow covered. The bad news is that the remaining base is icy, full of debris, and very thin in spots. All loops were cleared of down trees and large branches today. There is no track set and no further grooming or track setting will be done until we get more snow. Conditions are poor.

Good coverage and great for recreational skiing now. Wasn't groomed this morning but was the other day. Definitely needs a few more passes with a little added weight and a bit slower on the sled on the downhills. No post holing with my poles but I can kick straight through.

All loops were leveled and 95%+ tracked this morning. Some short sections were left untracked due to low snow. Expect low snow in spots, but overall the trail is in fair to good shape!

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails: Closed, Rock skis ]
The 7-8" of snow of fresh snow that we had as of Tuesday morning settled pretty substantially after a couple of days of warm temps. The trail was packed with the snowmobile this morning (and cleared of some down trees and branches). Overall there is pretty good snow coverage on the trail to start building our base. No grooming has been done yet and skiing is not recommended at this time. With more snow in the forecast for this weekend we will likely be back out on the trail early next week.

Grooming Scheduling 
[ Trails: Closed, Rock skis ]
There is 7-8" of snow on the trail after a significant snowfall yesterday. Grooming operations have not yet started as we're still preparing things after the gun deer season. If all goes well we might start packing the trail before the coming weekend.
