Ground up the old snow and set new tracks on Trout Lake and Doan Lake Trails. Most of the old leaf debris is buried. Very nice hardwax skiing.

Rolled all trails late Tuesday. Set new classic tracks on all trails this morning. Lots of drifting with the new snow. Some sections of Joyce Estate are only a single lane. Some tracks in drifted areas are less than straight. Overall, really nice skiing.

Started in south parking lot and skied to Joyce Estate. Met groomer on his way back. Trail was nicely packed and double-tracked. A few leaves and small sticks due to wind but no drifting. A beautiful day on the trail!

Hacked my way thru the drifts above Doan Lake. Then packed and rolled Doan Lake Trails. Came back with the Ginzu and set new tracks on the Doan Lake Trail. Still a little bumpy with some squirrelly tracks thru the drifts but overall very nice. Also set new tracks on the Trout Lake Trail from the south trailhead to Joyce Estate.

Groomed and tracked Trout Lake Trail to Joyce Estate and Doan Lake Trail. Did not groom trail to North Trailhead. Lots of drifts out there and had to plow thru some at a high speed so tracks are a little squirrelly in drifted areas. We will clean things up when the wind lets up and the temperatures rise a bit.

Rolled all trails starting about 8am with 8” new light fluffy snow. Skied Doan Lake shortly after noon. Skied in tracks in roller ridges by earlier skiers but really nice skiing. Set tracks on the entire system tonight with a another 2-3” after this morning. Pulled an old Tidd Tech track setter behind our new ABR Roller, so new tracks while I was still mostly packing the new snow. Should be really nice skiing tomorrow.
