Just enough new snow to warrant a skate lane tune up. Sunny and below zero, no skiers out today. Skating yesterday was just OK with the cold temps lingering and making glide hard to find. The tracks are good throughout the system.

Conditions cold and windy. But really very nice. We groomed all segments with tidd on skate lane and ginzu setting tracks. Rolled everything yesterday so we had a good firm base after several inches of new snow on Tuesday. Looks good everywhere. Although I rolled the swamp trail yesterday it has blown over again and will be only ok for classic.

After grooming yesterday I skied all segments today and skating was great! Fast skate lane, slower in the tracks. It was warm and overcast, about 25F above.

Another cold and sunny day. We groomed all trails, skate and tracks. The snow had set up so that today grooming was nice.
We did bump a couple of rocks on the Red Trail but they are easily avoidable.

Cold and sunny and windy on Tilson Monday. Too much new snow even after dragging and rolling on Thursday last week to use either Ginzu or Tidd.... We packed and rolled all trails twice. Should be able to set tracks today. Looks like a break in the weather is finally coming!

We groomed all trails last night. Plenty of new snow over the past few days made for good tracks and skate lane refreshing. Finally nice to be able to work in moderate temperatures! There were very few round rocks still showing in the tracks when I skied on Saturday so I would be watchful.

Way cold. The kick was stupendous, polar green all th way. Glide was intermittently great, and nonexistent. The four + inches of snow December 24 made for great tracks. In a few spots, the tops of the little hills, the bed rock is visible. Very nice grooming by Burgess.

We packed and tracked everything yesterday after about 4 inches of new snow. Finally took Ginzu across the Little Blue Hill Trail. More snow overnight so we grooomed again this morning, rolled and used the Ginzu for tracks on the main outer loop of Green, Orange, and Yellow, and rolled the swamp. A bit chilly out there today at about 12 below. But it was sunny.

In crisp cold weather all, trails are tracked and groomed. I don't count the "bad" Blue Hill trail because that's only open for a short time - it's not yet even packed. We packed on Tuesday after about 6 inches of heavy wet snow, groomed on Wednesday. Looking very nice. New Blue Return is still lumpy and there are sections of the Blue that are that way as well, caused by 4 wheeler traffic in the mud during deer season. Overall we are in good shape.

Another little snow came Thursday night, enough to make grooming fun. We set tracks on Green, Orange, Yellow, and Blue trails, and rolled the Red so that it is skateable. The skate lanes are fairly firm now. The tracks are only fair, but improving each time. There are still a few rocks on ridges but overall our coverage is good.
