After nearly 2 weeks without snow we finally groomed new snow on Tilson Creek yesterday, pulling both Ginzus to set tracks and do the skate lane. Then of course it snowed last night. I rolled the skate lane on all trails including the Big Bad Blue Hill trail this morning.

Skated the trail to park and around blue, yellow, orange and red. there was 1" of new snow on top of frim base. There is around 36" of snow in the woods. 23F above with the sun shine in afternoon.

I skied this trail on New Years Eve 2019. The area had just been dumped on with snow and there were no tracks set. So I thought I'd try it again as long as I was in the neighborhood. Nice! The whole trail had 1-2 inches of fluff so I had to break trail but the tracks were solid. Skied everything except the red trail; even went to the VNP just to see what that was all about. The return on the blue trail was way cool. There are some nice hills hidden in the back 40. One other skier who was skating and grinning. He lapped me about 6 times. He was nice enough to thank me for packing down the tracks in anticipation of all the weekend skiers. Nice job grooming!

Nice weather brought out lots of skiers and a couple of inches of snow. We groomed and tracked all trails this morning, and continued to post trail name signs.

My first time at Tilson and the trails are firm, fast and in great shape! Freshly groomed, except the Blue trail, which just had a light layer of snow on it. The Blue trail also had some softer sections.

On Sunday I ran the Ginzu over the skate lane on Green, Orange, Yellow, and Red trails. Looks and skis really well... great.

Skated for 4 hours on the trail. Freshly groomed the day before. A little soft but in great condition. With more than 2’ of snow in the woods.

This past weekend we received another foot or more of snow on Tilson Creek. Sunday we packed with sleds only, Monday we rolled and dragged, and today we used both Ginzus to groom and track all trail segments. The Big Bad Blue Hill trail is rolled for skating but not tracked.

We ran both Ginzus over all segments this morning, grooming skate lane and setting tracks. We were unable to track the Blue shelter loop because the snow was still too soft but did make two passes on skate lane. We did not do the Bogwalk.

Tilson saw about 8” of new snow Monday night, just too much to groom. So we packed with sleds and then ran the drag and roller over everything. You can skate on Wednesday if the snow sets up as expected. We plan to watch the weather forecast before deciding when to set tracks. The Big Bad Blue Hill trail is open! Be careful. The Bogwalk was heavily drifted but we did pack and roll.
