First time on trail. Single classic tracks with snowshoeing and skijoring next to tracks. Seems to work just fine. Really beautiful trail. Very intimate and next to the pines. Plenty of snow.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
A warm weekend followed by an inch of rain and a return to cold temps has made grooming challenging due to the amount of ice and lack of fresh snow. Tracks were not able to be re-set this week. However, the conditions allow for easy walking outside the classic tracks with little need for snowshoes. Icy conditions with a dusting of snow will make for a very fast-skiing trail, so exercise caution.

Good. Just enough snow on top of icy crust for some kick. Very blustery, with some debris on trail. Enjoyed both the tall pines and the areas that have been opened by balsam removal and selective logging.

The trail was snowmobile packed and classic tracks were set. Tracks should set up well with cold temp. Happy skiing!

Grooming

The trail was packed, and a track was set. There is a lot of fine tree debris on the trail from the last few windy nights. Please be sure to pick up dog waste! There was a lot of it on the trail this time around.

No groomed tracks. It is a hiking trail pounded down hard by people just walking on it-not even using snowshoes. It's like skiing on a parking lot.

Packed several times and laid a track. Also cut back a couple of trees. Should be in good shape for the weekend. Enjoy.

Tracks haven't been set in quite a while. Trail appears to be mostly just hiking, snowshoeing, and dog trail. Punchy and unpleasant to ski. There is also a small tree down on the south end.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Clean-up after the blizzard has been ongoing, the trail is open and skiable but there is still a lot of tree debris in tracks. Trails were packed with a snowmobile pulling the groomer and then classic tracks were also set. The snow on the trail base is very hard-packed due to the colder temperatures. People are able to walk, ski, or snowshoe comfortably on the trail at this time. Classical tracks are shallow and contains some tree debris. The trail is seeing a lot of mixed use, so please be mindful of not walking or snowshoeing on the classic tracks.
