Firm skate lane with half inch of new snow = very enjoyable skiing on Thunder/East loop and Finnish Run.

Whole system had skate deck repacked and combed to help firm things up after the big snowfall and winds left things a little fluffy.

First time at Sugar. Feel so fortunate that we have so many beautiful ski areas. I really enjoyed the Thunder loop, the new trail did not have tracks, the Finnish loop ended my outing and I took the easier way back... Surprised I was able to ride the last hill down. I am a mediocre skier. Only saw one other skier and he was skate skiing. He was going the "wrong" direction after abandoning his skate ski outing. Said it was in skateable. Some drifting on the peak. Overall loved it, beautiful. Some incredible yellow birch specimens! Get out there this week. Enjoy winter!

Decided to check out Sugar even though report states skate lane is soft. Unfortunately there was a ridge down middle of the lane on most of the various trails. Snag loop had the biggest ridge. Better on Thunders loop. The problem was that left and right sides of ridge had different textures, so a skating pattern was difficult to maintain. I would hit really soft areas and nearly fall.

We were able to get out and finish grooming all but the old race trail loop. We tracked and leveled the skate lane on all but Long Lake Loop which had been done the day before. It still may be soft in spots but it is improving with each grooming.

We attempted to groom today and were only able to complete the Long Lake loop. Temps were just too warm and we not able to do any other trails. The rest of the trails are a bit uneven with 2" of new snow over the last grooming effort on Tuesday. Next grooming is scheduled for Monday or when temps drop a bit.
