We did a pass on the skate lane on all trails. Classic track is still pretty good, so we left it alone. The trail system is in very good condition, gets better with each grooming pass.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We groomed all trails today. The skate lane came out very well considering the layer of ice on top. The classic track will be half depth but mostly good. Be careful on the downhills, it's going to be fast.

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!
