Skied Doan Lake and portions of South Trout. I was surprised...still very nice packed powder and overall nice solid tracks. A few short drifted over areas here and there that are skied thru. Some leaves in places and plenty of deer tracks. But mostly clear trail and overall very nice.

Trout trails tracked to North End and Joyce Estate. Doan Lake Trail tracked. A little soft with 3” light snow. Very nice out there.

Left from the Doan Lake Rd trailhead and skied to Joyce Estates, then to the north end of Trout Lake. Skied Doan Lk loop after. Good conditions with just that last 1” of snow over the tracks. Wind had blown a few leaves in at some places, but not so much as to make things too difficult. Wind was quite brisk where the trail side opened out toward the lake, otherwise wasn’t too bad. Changed kick wax from blue extra to green special during the outing.

Groomed since the ice and in excellent condition. Excellent job grooming out the ice. Tracks well defined and soft enough for a good kick with waxless skiis and an excellent glide. No debris on the trail and an excellent ski.

Doan Lake trails groomed and tracked today. Very good conditions on most of the trail, a little crusty under the dense pines. Some scattered tree debris on the trail. Pick it up if you can.

Reset track to north end of Trout Lake. Trail needed two passes to cut up ice crust, should be in good condition, fast skiing.

I skied the Doan Lake Trail near Trout Lake Recreation Area. The trail was groomed since the last big snowstorm (maybe Saturday afternoon?). The tracks were in great shape. There are lots of deer tracks on the trail. The deer are enjoying some packed snow too. This is a nice trail for a quick and mostly easy ski.

Very good ski especially considering how much snow needed to be packed and tracked. Good track to the north end and also on the Doan trail.
