All trails groomed over the past two days with tracks set and fresh corduroy on skating lanes. Tracks in some areas will be a little shallow due to old, hard snow but overall are in very good condition. Excellent conditions for skating.

Groomed up the 2.5K and 6K loops this morning after the weekend thaw. Tracks were removed but not reset as we weren't getting good results. Skate skiing will be good on these loops after the temps warm up and the snow softens a bit. All other trails remain open but conditions will be variable depending on temperatures.

Most skate lanes were refreshed Friday and tracks reset where needed. Should be excellent conditions for the weekend.

Received about 2" of fresh snow overnight. All trails were groomed this morning with tracks reset throughout. Excellent conditions. Trails will be a little soft so we ask dog owners not to run their dogs on the freshly groomed ski trails until they have set up. Your consideration will be appreciated.

All skate lanes have been refreshed this morning. They will be slightly chunky in some sections given the cold, hard snow we have to work with, but overall will be very good. Tracks are still in very good condition. Best snow conditions will be on the Training Loop and Papoose Trails.

The snow conditions were prefect. Fast, good kick, nice edging. The trails however could have used a freshening up; they were getting a little chewed up from heavy use. I'm glad they made the last section before the chalet 2-way.

Training Loop, 6K, 8.5K and 11K Loops were groomed on Friday. Skate lanes were refreshed but not all track was reset if the old track was still in good condition. Setting new, quality track with old, hard snow in cold temperatures is a challenge and time consuming. What we didn't groom on Friday was last groomed on Wednesday and is still in very good condition.

Training Loop, 2.5K Loop and parts of the 8K and Papoose trails were groomed this afternoon/tonight with tracks reset. Conditions will be very good although persistent snow showers, and some minor drifting in open areas could impact conditions.

The classic tracks were great and solid. Skaters were pleased with the skate lanes. A light dusting of snow fell this morning which gave a bit more traction. Fat bike trail was well packed and fun.

Skied everything except the Out-and-back and the trail to Papoose parking lot. Trails that were groomed Sunday night were a bit firmer than what was groomed Monday morning. But all trails skied very well with recent grooming. Thanks.
