Received about 12" over the holiday weekend. Today I rolled all ski loops in the early morning except Vahterra 2 and Takesson 1 and 2. Again rolled all loops in the afternoon. Seems to be firming up. This afternoon I started to set track on Vahterra 1 but developed equipment issues. Will try to fix equipment early Tuesday morning with goal to set track on Vahterra 1 on Tuesday and Meadow Loop by Wednesday depending on snowfall. Individual Loop Conditions Below: Meadow: Good condition, with some sticks poking through but avoidable. Groomed a short skate loop at beginning. Will give an update on Tues/Wed regarding plans to groom/track this pending equipment fix. Pipeline West: Good but only rolled. Pipeline East: Fair but still need more snow and overnight firming. Watch out for some sudden dips on eroded hills from FEMA events; trying to fill these in as much as I can. Red Granite: Good but only rolled. Vahterra 1: Track set for short distance but groomed rest of the way. Vahterra 2: Not rolled/fresh powder. Takesson 1&2: Not rolled but packed with snowmobile.

Received about 4" of wet snow Sunday night thru Monday night. Rolled all loops Tuesday morning; very thin base throughout the park. Sticks/grass showing everywhere except campground section mentioned below. A short loop (sites 8-33) in the North Campground was rolled yesterday and groomed today for those desperate to get out skate skiing. It is thin, with some dirt mixed in along road shoulders. Access from Ballfield Parking Lot.

Trails have varying amounts of snow but not enough to start rolling. If you're looking to get some early season skiing in, the Meadow Trail at the south end of the park by the office, will be your choice but be sure to use "rock skis" with only about 4 inches being measured. Towards the middle of the park, the Vahtera Trail only has enough snow to cover the leaves. On the north end by the Doughboy Nature Trail, there's only a dusting covering the ground.
