Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All trails packed and tracked, yesterday and today. While I was out grooming this morning I ran across otter tracks on the trail. It was pretty cool as the otter was sliding down all the downhills. I've attached a picture. Good to know that our furry friends are enjoying the ski trails also.

Trail is really fast and icy despite the best efforts of our groomers. Lots of snowplowing on downhills and corners needed. The trail is beautiful and I did enjoy myself and especially the new warming house but if you're not comfortable with these conditions it's best to wait for fresh snow.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Reset classic track and did leveling on skate for whole system. Classic track varies between full and partial depth due to the cold temps. We are making headway on the soft spots and skate lanes with each grooming. Should be good for those who brave the cold temps through the weekend.

Some parts are great, some parts are soft, but all of it is gorgeous. There's some drifting in certain areas. Last groomed on December 31st per the chalkboard outside warming house. Light bit of snow over most of the groomed trail.

Firsthand: Both 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Skied the Thunder Peak loop, the trail was groomed but was very soft, especially the skate deck. There were also some very deep snow drifts near the peak. Other loops appeared to be groomed and may have received additional passes by the groomer as the skate deck and tracks were a bit firmer. The groomer appeared to get stuck in a few places and dug some ruts, but it didn't appear there was any debris that would damage skis. Lots of maple leaves have fallen with the high winds the last few days which may make striding difficult for waxable skis if the temps warm up.
