We rolled ahead and followed with the Ginzu on the Blue Trail this morning. Looks very nice. I believe it will take a day or so to set up since we had so much new snow to process.

We received close to a foot of snow on the Tilson Creek Ski Trail on Sunday, and packed and rolled on Monday. This morning I groomed and tracked all trails but the Blue. The snow will be soft for a day but should firm up nicely. I posted the "do not ski on soft snow" sign when I finished- it's that time of year. Sunny and +20, warming up to 30.

After 8 inches of new snow the trail was freshly groomed and tracks set. The snow was a little slow with new snow and a temperature around 10 above. Great day for a ski.

Cold and very sunny this morning. We were able to set nice tracks and good corduroy after last nights trail rolling on close to a foot of new snow. All trails look very nice and should set up well. No more snow please, we are all set.

In preparation for Tuesday's epic snowstorm we rolled the skate lane on all trails. The tracks are still fine if somewhat wind blown. We'll reset tracks on Wednesday. And we put up all the new intersection signs, plus a big beauty at the trailhead.

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!
